My New Macbook Pro Arrives

As I mentioned in a previous post, I decided to purchase a Macbook Pro for a personal use laptop. The main and most important reason - I wanted something that ‘just works’. I think you will hear we use that term alot in the future, as this is what Idesire at this point in my life. Although I work in IT adn can be a huge geek on occasion, there comes a time when you simple wanna do what you wanna do, and you do not wanna tinker or troubleshoot anything. You connect something to it, you just want it to work. You turn on wireless, you just want it to connect so you can get to the Internet.

So, FedEx arrives Wed. afternoon, with my new Macbook Pro. It slightly derailed most of my work afternoon. I unboxed it and turned it on. It asked a couple of questions, the last was choosing a US or Canadian keyboard. Next was which wireless network did I want to connect to. I was a bit shocked. No driver installations, no configurations, no nothing. Blam, wireless. I chose my home wireless network, and I was on the Internet. Woohoo! It ‘just worked’!

More details later - gotta go play with the new toy. ;-)
