Woke up at 2 AM.... And decided to create an "icon" for myself. I'll keep working on it. I like it.
Which one .........
Which one
...........
IT Contractor (Unix SA/SAN Admin) by trade so good to have a proper machine which can run 80% of the OS's/software I use.
2010 11" MBA 1.6/4GB/128 SSD :
Everday machine - always with me @ work. Replaced the Macbook Black which is still sat in my Bottom drawer waiting a clean install before going on Ebay ......
Access to websites/email that work blocks via MIFI !!!!
Office 2011
Xcode Development
VMWare Fusion
Manauls/Personal notes for tasks
1TB USB drive containg odds/sods I seem to use every so often
2008 15" C2D 2.53/4GB/128 SSD
This lives at home now - as replaced by the MBA - was formerly the machine I carried everywhere. As soon as my new 15" arrives - this will become my daughters Laptop.
General Laptop about the House
Office 2011
Xcode Development
VMWare Fusion
Goes with us on holiday for Music/Photo's/Video editing (extreme skiing/falling off of a mountain)
2011 15" QC 2.3 /8GB/256 SSD
New beast awaiting delivery. Replacement for the above 15". Will be swapping out the Optical Drive for a 2nd 128GB SSD.
All of the above and lots more I'm sure !!
Thankfully - the MBA and the New Macbook pro were bought by my company - eveything else I bought.
Which now having written it down on paper is bloody scary !!! Hope my wife never see's this post

When does the fan kick in and how long? To be quite honest my fan rarely if at all comes on...

Would love to get one of those new MacBook Airs. But, between upgrading my Camaro and the new MBP - my wife would kill me... Sigh

I have an old MBP Core Duo 15" and I use it for:
I let the video editing work for my iMac, more powerful.
- InDesign and Photoshop work (CS3)
- Taking notes with Notational Velocity at the university
- Coding with BBedit
