New Laptop!

Okay, so I finally did it... I ordered a new 15" MacBook Pro.  This is something I've been meaning to buy (a Mac) since OS X came out... so I'm only about 10 years late.  Back in that time when I heard OS X was going to be Unix based I got pretty excited but I think I was more turned away because I was already a committed PC gamer, not to mention I couldn't afford one at the time.

The previous laptop I purchased was a Toshiba P3 450mhz, 64MB RAM, 6GB hdd, and an 800x600 screen.  It was outlived by my Gateway 2000 P2 266mhz, 192MB RAM, 4GB hard drive, 1024x768 resolution, running OpenBSD.  Needless to say it has been a while since I've had a descent laptop.  My latest desktop was built in 2005 and is now dead.  I'll be sending my old Gateway laptop (with OpenBSD stickers) back to apple through their free recycling program.

In baby news, we have an appointment tomorrow to determine the sex.  Can't wait!

I am also very proud to announce that Aimee won second place in the Digital Manipulation category at the University of Central Missouri Photo Expo contest.  All three of her submitted photos made it to the gallery and the following picture titled "The Watchman" won the prize.  Yes, that is me.  No, I didn't know I was being photographed.  Yes, there will be a prize for whoever can name the address of the building I am standing on.  (Not that anyone reads this anyway!)
