New Apple
I think I’m in ‘love’…. that is kind of a sad statement, when one reads the subject. Well I’ve always had a soft spot for Apple, especially OSX, and PowerBooks.
Yesterday they annouced during Mac World Expo, the replacement for the Power based Powerbook – it’s name MacBook Pro (no I did not buy this at McDonalds, will probably be the first thing owners have to say).
I think I want one…..
