the NEW macbook-pro is out!!!
it’s a hedious name… the macbook pro (they really ought to come up with something better… tsk tsk!)
and it costs a bomb… particularly when i’d like to have the max. of the available specifications… so i have to save up another us$1500… before i can get the academic price version… it should be worth it though (i hope)… yeeehaar… the smaller version has a dual-layer dvd writer, finally!!! and up to 200GB for harddisk space capacity… YES!!! now i just have to keep my fingers crossed that MATLAB will be quick enough at developing their softwares for the new IntelMacs… i wonder if i can run wretched SPSS on it too… i wonder if bootcamp will work… hmmmmmm. (how i hate the fact that computers and operating systems don’t speak the same language!)
