A passing thought

As I am switching to Mac Book, I would like to register my high regards for IBM's T - Series Laptops - In "wintel" world, IBM is the best laptop one can get.
I had/have a T42p, pimped up with 2GB RAM; the computer came with default 7200RPM 60GB Hard drive and 2.0 GHZ Pentium M. Though the video card ( ATI FireGL Mobility T2) was kind of lower end, I happily completed "Far Cry" and "DOOM 3" on this laptop.
I just love the Hard shell, hinges and parts of IBM thinkpad, Minimalistic and professional design, innovative track button located above the 'B' Key, which is very very useful once you get used to it. I may miss this one in Mac.
Love you thinkpad!

At last..

Today I ordered a 15" Mac Book Pro. Lately, I had been checking out so much of Apple related stuff, that I had to succumb to the temptation. I had been frequenting the Apple stores so many times - enough to create suspicion for the security guards.
Strange coincidence, Ubuntu has released their latest version of Linux - Feisty Fawn - today. Though Ubuntu being my favorite OS, I am not going to install this version. Instead, I am waiting to start my life on Mac. Anyway, this month on, my life is going to change in a big way :)
May be when Apple releases leopard in October and if it is very highly priced, I will think of dual booting Ubuntu on my pro.
