The MacBook Pro I ordered way back in January showed up in Southern California yesterday. It made pretty good time taking only five days from Shanghai, China to Murrieta. In fact, it would have been delievered Sunday if they did deliveries on Sunday.

How is it? Fast. Very fast. I read about how Universal binary programs (those built for both PowerPC and Intel) are, of course, much faster than PowerPC ones emulated in Rosetta so I have kept my eyes peeled for Universal versions of the apps I use.

Before getting to work on it, I copied the contents of the hard drive for a backup and then copied all the user data from our PowerBook. I’ll get everything tricked out as best as possible and then make the switch tonight.

Now that leaves me with the old G4 iMac and the PowerBook I need to clean up and get listed on eBay. Need a Mac, let me know and I’ll make you a deal to save me the trouble.
