It's nice to have a fast laptop! WHEEEEEEE!

Even Windows is pretty good on it. Unfortunately, my Deus Ex CD got scratched somehow, so I can't install it until I fix the disc or make a copy. [crying] But luckily I think I already made an ISO somewhere out of paranoia.

Then it's off to the races to christen my new machine by entering the world of conspiratorial cyberpunk doom, and beating DX for about the 30th time... can't wait.

The OS is still a bit rough from the Intel transition (power management and sound drivers are obviously not the best they could be). But damn if it isn't the best computer I've ever owned.

Hehe, my new Dell Laptop is pretty fast, but I bet the MacBook is a lot faster. [sad]

Does your old code compile on this new machine?

What's that supposed to mean? If it means what I think it does, I may have to amputate your face.

Runs it fine, apparently. I've seen some people with the latest beta installed. I'll see if I can track down a copy and get it installed so I can satisfy your burning desires for looooooove.

I mean that Windows is usually useless on 512MB (I haven't installed my spare 1GB DIMM into the machine yet) but it's fast as all hell on this motherfucker. It's nuts, although XP barely even touches the second core.

I'll have to install the extra gig of RAM and see if it screams even faster on that thing. It's unbelievably fast. Fast, fast, fast, fast, fast. I can hardly get any work done, I'm so distracted by the pure speed. Glow runs flat-out faster under OS X, even under PowerPC emulation, than my gaming PC does with it under Windows. [crying]
