Goodbyes and hellos

Goodbye Powerbook!

Goodbye Powerbook!

Hello MacBook Pro!

Hello MacBook Pro!

Goodbye crappy old CRT!

Goodbye crappy old CRT!

Hello 20″ Cinema Display!

Hello 20

I shall call thee… Janus.

Sweeet… I transferred everything from the 12″ Powerbook using the migration assistant with no problems (very slick). This machine is FAST. Much snappier than my old machine (granted, it was 3 years old).

I'm currently compiling the "svn-client-ssl" Fink package. Half an hour so far. We'll see how long it takes. 1 1/2 hours from compile start to finish. Not too shabby. (It took a few hours, at least, on the 12″.)

The screen is also significantly brighter. I would say 1/3 brightness on the MacBook Pro is equivalent to the full brightness of the 12″ Powerbook, which is crazy.
