After weeks of saving and managing to sell my Power Mac G5 last week I finally had enough to purchase the Mac Pro I've had my eye on for quite a while now.

I headed straight down to my local Apple Store (Regent Street) before closing and picked up the 2.26GHz 8-Core Mac Pro, they were real friendly there and I managed to get a whopping 16% off my purchase because I'm a student.

Once home I set it up straight away, to say it's fast is an understatement and I can't imagine what Snow Leopard will do for my machine in September.

My parents can't tell the difference, they think it looks the same LOL. Thing is, they haven't a clue what's inside this thing... :)
 
Well alrighty then. It is commendable that you saved your pennies to get it. Good work.
 
Congrats and enjoy!

Don't forget to set up Time Machine and back it up!

Woof, Woof - Dawg

It runs very well with Snow.
 
Jealous.;)

All I need to get a Mac Pro is the money, start college to get the discount, and a reason to have one. I am desperately looking for a reason... Perhaps I'll start my own space program, I think that would be a good utilization of its power.:D
