Now that the woe and heartache of losing my trusty PowerBook to electrical trauma has worn off, I’m again impressed by the folks at the Apple store. I didn’t think it was possible - since I’ve worked there some of the magic isn’t as magic as it once was. I picked up a brand new 15″ MacBook Pro and a wireless Mighty Mouse in less than 10 minutes. Reinstalling all my software and restoring my photos and music took considerably longer, but I think everything is in place now.

It feels good to rejoin the SuperComputing Highway. I’m feeling good about this guy lasting for years to come.
