MacBook Pro

Short answer - Love it!
Well my main P4 PC that I built 7 years ago finally bit the big one. My old lease return P3 Dell laptop was getting long in the tooth and starting to fall apart so, it was time. I purchased a MacBook Pro 15" in 2.66GHz stock trim. I'm not an Apple Fanboy by any means and this was my first Mac purchase.  I did use Macs in college and really liked them but not enough to pay the price premium. I've had numerous Windows machines and a few Linux boxes.

Likes:

• OSX kicks ass!
• Very fast across the board. Start up, shut down, loading programs, everything
• Quiet. Never makes a sound. Even the keyboard is whisper quiet. No fan noise or clicking hard drives
• Battery life
• Garage Band
• Backlit keyboard
• Trackpad is genius
• Screen is incredible. Some reflection when outside or when back-lit but worth the price for such beautiful display otherwise
• Aluminum body
• Mag Safe power cord
  

Dislikes:

• Price (although with the discount I received not too bad)
• Airport hates my old Linksys router and AP so it drops the wireless connection. Seems to be a Snow Leopard issue. Worked fine until I upgraded to OSX 10.6.2 which came on a disk in the box

New Start?

I doubt if anyone but spammers and freaks will find this site but I've decided to start again, well maybe? This time I will dedicate it to my on and off again hobby - photography. Lately the artsy fartsy side of me is just screaming to get out an play.
I intend to document my ramblings, experience, equipment reviews, blah -blah-blah, in my pursuit of the hobby. It is one of many hobbies, mind you, so this site is likely to fail as it has done so many times before. Jack of all trades, master of none. Don't be disappointed.
I am not a punk kid who bought a SLR & decided to start a blog. I am a punk, just not a kid. I started back in the daze of Yashika and film. I actually made some money many moons ago and missed an opportunity to go full time into photography. More about that later?
To copy a post from over four years ago: the unknown, unimportant and uninteresting blog known as damageability has returned. Stay tuned for more nothingness...
