Spending money is fun
Monday night Dan, Ben, and myself went to Chris' Job We Shall Not Speak Of. We (or at I) were planning on making an actual purchase that night. Which I did. And I like it.
It looks cool, is super fast (I have yet to max out either processor), and makes me glad to be an Apple citizen. Last night I got around to playing with the Dashboard. So far most of the widgets look gimmicky, but I found and like the Gmail, Wikipedia, and weather widgets. There is a Blogger widget but I'm having trouble getting it to work (It's me being dumb, not them).
Even though Leopard is coming out sometime this spring, the 22-month old Tiger still is pretty awesome. Bwee.
I have only two complaints, and both are about the case, not the hardware or software. First, the black matte finish shows the grease from my fingers, letting you see where the case has been touched. My second complaints is that the keyboard has a tiny gap between the keys and the case letting dust and gunk in. Neither of these will prevent me from enjoying it, though.
As far as software, I'm running Firefox, Growl, Adium, iStumbler, and Quicksilver.

Yeah the black cases tend to reveal smudges and scratches more than the white. Same thing goes for the iPods.
I still think the black looks classier overall though.
I'm glad everything is working out for you though there's always more to learn—maybe it's time for some ProCare? ;-)
