Maybe I’ve talked about my current work laptop before, maybe not. I don’t think so.
I posted how much I was going miss my MacBook Pro way back then. Well, the laptop I’ve had for the past months has made me forget about my MacBook Pro. A day or two before Thanksgiving vacation, my Dell arrived. I immediately stripped off the Win7 it came pre-installed with, put Ubuntu64 on it with Win7 running withing a Virtual Box. Things have worked amazingly since then. I went from 10 minute database bootstraps on my old WinXP machine to 50 seconds bootstraps on my Ubuntu machine. The thing rocks! I love being able to go to the command line when I want to.
So why did it enable me to forget about my MacBook Pro. Well, it probably would’ve cost less to buy me a Mac. 8 gigabytes and a solid state hard drive have a way of causing deficiencies to disappear. I loved the thing over these past months. It will be another sad day come next Wednesday when I hand it over. :(
