Apples are Back in Season
I had no idea that Apple were bringing out a new MacBook Pro yesterday, one inch thin, weighing 5.4 lbs, Core 2 Duo, next-generation 802.11n wireless, wickedly fast NVIDIA graphics and a power-efficient LED-backlit display. I had even less of an idea that Fred was going to bring one home for me. Clueless, really. Shocked! And surprised in the most perfect way possible. After several years of using a PC, Apples are now in season all year round at the Becks & Posh household. They're local too. Less than 50 miles from my front door!

Ha, I saw the headline in my bloglines and was stunned. I know California is ahead of Washington by about a month with produce--but apples? Already?
What a lovely, lovely gift! And a happy birthday to you:-)

Yay--happy birthday to you!
I've had a lifelong love affair with PCs, but lately I'm thinking that I'll encounter fewer worms in an Apple than a PC. Time for a trip to the orchard!

Sam, I got one for my birthday (April 30), too! I've been a Macintosh girl since 1988, but this is only my second laptop. It replaces the six-year old Powerbook Pro G3 that died last June.
Oh, my, am I loving it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! And welcome to the club. No more fear of viruses!

Are you sure you want a local Apple? I mean, isn't it elitist? And what about all those poor Apples from Chile? Are you thinking about them? Are you?
(Happy Birthday to you. I am so glad you were born).

thanks for all the good words everyone and kind wishes and envious glares too.
Now I have to go and wrestle the apple from my man. I can see why Adam was blamed for taking that first bite, I reckon Eve had nothing to do with it at all.

Well halleluja!! Fred is a genius - but first a happy (belated) birthday gorgeous. Hope you have a life full of joy, happiness and health and of course - APPLES.
I'm on a mac too and have the previous version on the MacBook Pro. It's a nifty piece of equipment and I am sure you will love every bite errr --- byte!

I just switched to a Mac after a lifetime of PC use - I opted for the destop Mac Pro, as I felt the MacBook Pro (at the time) didn't have enough computing power...
the way its configured now, I'm kicking myself for not waiting...
Its a great machine. I hope you're enjoying it.
