I'm glad to report that my venerable Quicksilver G4 has been retired. Yesterday I bought a unibody MBP, and had a 160GB Intel SSD along with a Mushkin 4GB memory kit shipped to me, which arrived today. There isn't much to say besides this: the thing boots in 20 or 25 seconds. Apps don't load when I click on them, they're ready to be used.
The screen is nice; there are no dead pixels. If the screen isn't up to some professional editor's standards, I couldn't tell you.
iWork made a chore out of simply double spacing, but in general I want to get away from Office 2004.
But this isn't entirely about the new toy either. The G4 is moving in with my dad, where it will replace a 233mhz G3 which would probably like nothing more than to drop dead this instant. I don't know when I'll have the time and the Internet to download coconut battery and one of those fan controllers, but I'll get around to it.
As it's last duty, the G4 will complete the final paper that I started on it. I haven't used a mac as my main computer in three years, but I'm glad to say that as long as solid products like these are manufactured by Apple, I won't need to quit the mac platform again for a long time.
