New PowerBook!
After waiting for more than a whole month, my new 15″ PowerBook has finally arrived! It was a very miserable month for me, because I sold my old TiBook (which wasn’t really that old, and it was a good price) upon ordering the new one and later discovered that the new one won’t be shipping in a short while. The shop was very nice that they lent me an old TiBook (this one was really old) running at 400Mhz, so I had to live with it for all these weeks and indeed lost so much productivity - imagine waiting for a few seconds for average action like “File -> Open”!!
My new baby is featuring a G4 1GHz CPU, 15.2″ LCD, DVD-Combo, 256MB RAM (I made it to 768MB), 60G Hard Drive, Built-in Bluetooth, Firewire 800, USB 2.0 and 802.11g Airport Extreme…. I feel so much better that it comes with Panther, it is stunning fast even with 256MB RAM. The overall performance boost is more than 50%, not to mention the ability of sharing Windows Network and Printers, so even it was a huge delay, I am happy now.
