Dang lack of unsecured wireless hotspots!
Something rather nice happened yesterday.
My MacBook Pro arrived!
It's seriously sweet. I'm not on it atm as I don't have a modem, but I'm installing stuff as we speak. XP runs beautifully.
I gave 3DMark06 a whirl too. Wasn't expecting a high mark, but I was pleased with the 1500 or so 3DMarks it got.

9 days to go.
10 days to go.
12 days to go.
Turns out the Macbook will be delievered on the 15th rather than the 9th. No biggie, I can wait.
I must say, Apple's customer service is fantastic. Being able to directly contact one advisor for the entire thing (i.e. my questions, purchasing, etc) made it incredibly easy and very convinient. Kudos to Apple!
Episode 1 arrives tomorrow and I'm pretty danged excited! Not that I preloaded it or anything (CD's for me kthx) but still, can't wait! Personally, I love the Half-Life saga (as well as the ending of HL2) so episodic content ftw (so long as it doesn't suck).
14 days to go.

Apple released a cheaper version of the Macbook yesterday. Its essentially the same thing judging from the specs, minus a 7200RPM drive. Its also only a 13 inch screen (you still get a pretty nice resolution though, and I prefer a laptop that doesn't require you to attach wheels on it and ride it just so you can transport it).
I just wish you could upgrade to a 7200RPM drive. That's the only thing that's stopping me rushing out and buying one right now.
Specs for joo.
Edit: Aww, double dang. It's a crappy onboard GFX card. Guess that's a no to the MacBook. Back to the MacBook Pro for me.

Got my hands on 3ds Max 8 today and I've been going through the beginner tutorials that come with it.
The Knight still isn't done, but man, it's loads of fun!
