Got myself a MacBook Pro

As I discussed earlier here …
I was contemplating the purchase of a MacBook Pro …
I've been researching this online for a while now …
Keeping a close tab on new releases and user reviews …
The apple MacBook craze was/is in full force …
Especially in online communities …
I read forums on how easy it is use to a mac …
I watched switcher ads …
I read the heat and whine issues by critics …
After my friends succinctly described the pros and cons …
The cool factor of using a mac …  the ease of use …
Versus the limited software packages … incompatibility issues …
I weighed my options carefully …
What type of user I am …  ???
What I needed from my machine …  ???
The best option for me was MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz …
Having decided on the machine I want …
I needed to get the best price and availability …
First I checked around Male' … the two new apple shops …
Then I tried calling some serious computer hardware dealers …
The machine I wanted was not available in town …
If I ordered thru them … there was a 14-day waiting period …
And yes I was innately suspicious about that too …
So I checked out the option of ordering online …
As it turned out … ordering online was cheaper and faster …
With guaranteed delivery … including global apple care plan …
And so here I am now …
Writing this with my machine …
And I can't help but say …
Its one helluva sweet machine …
Guess I am switcher, eh ??? Well not completely …
I still use a PC at work …  hehehe …
