New laptop

[beowabbit]

Yesterday at work I got a new laptop, a 12" PowerBook. Yay! Good timing, since my own laptop died a couple of months ago, so I’ve been without. Part of the motivation is that an increasing number of the faculty have Macs, and we’d like to be smarter about how they fit into our environment.

Maybe I’ll spend today working in the lounge with the nice view of the MFA, because I can. :-)

Yeah, it’s a great size! Small and light enough to take around with me everywhere, and having built-in wireless is great. Yeah, I realize that this century that’s not such a big deal, but it’s been a long time since I got a new laptop, and that wasn’t such an up-to-date model. (That was the one I fried a couple months ago. I hope to still use it for something; it‘ll boot off a CD, but it doesn’t see internal hard drives any more.)

I’m lucky; I never really left an academic environment. (And since my father was an English professor, and my mother and stepfather work for a university, I’ve really been in academic environments all my life.)
