Into the light
May. 25th, 2008 06:03 pmKerri's work provides an allowance for stuff like conferences, professional memberships, and computers.
The Libretto we bought a couple of years back is light and powerful, but the keyboard and screen are really a bit small for regular sustained use. So it has been time to replace it for a while.
We went looking for a new laptop today. Just as a joke, I stopped at the Macbook Air and began playing with it. I knew Kerri was concerned about compatibility with existing systems and wasn't keen on a Mac, but my previous quick looks had impressed me with its elegance and ease of use.
It took about a minute for Kerri to like it enough to ask serious questions. The sales assistant was able to give good answers, and long story short, we bought it. MacBookAir, exsternal drive, office:mac.
I was pleased but not surprised at the ease with which we set it up. More later.
