The Fire of My Loins
I haven’t yet mentioned my spiffy new PowerBook; it’s mine in the sense that it belongs to my employer but I get to use it 24/7/365.
Hewn from an ingot of pure titanium, the PowerBook G4 is, I must say, “a freakin work of art.”
Perched atop its mighty shoulders is a screen a yard wide.
The heart of the beast, pumping the life-blood of 1’s and 0’s, is the 2nd fastest G4 CPU available (damn!).
The brain of the beast is the G4… which is also the heart of the beast… ahhhh nuts, my metaphor has forsaken me.
Anywho, it’s real nice, and oh so very toasty in my lap. And I can almost ignore the stuck pixel (damn! damn! damn! damn!).
I suspect I’ll go wireless when the Airport speed bump arrives (say July 17th at Macworld?). I’ve already proven that I can fake the WAP with the built-in networking guts of OS X; just stick a card in the desktop Mac and the laptop and do some happy fun ip aliasing. Bada bing.
