In the middle of March there were some changes happening at work, and various things had to happen before the changes (I’ll right about the changes later). One of those things was pay reviews and bonuses need to be paid and I decided to push for more bonus so that it would cover a MacBook Pro purchase – it was successfull. The next day I went out to NextByte and had a look and purchased myself a MacBook Pro.

I got 15.4″ 2.5GHz, 300GB hdd model with the 4GB ram upgrade. It is a very nice laptop – have installed CS3 on it and I must say it is so much quicker than my PC and I look many to many happy years together with it. I must say the weight of them blew me away – I can carry it with its power supply and it is lighter than my old Dell clunker.

Really only have 1 issue with it, and that is for some reason I cant access the network resources whilst on the network at church for some reason. I have no problem with the home or work network, but for some reason it doesn’t like the church network. It isn’t all the network either, I get a DHCP ip address but I just cant access shared drives etc on the network, it is very odd.

I would like work to replace my PC at work with a 24″ iMac but I can’t see that happening in the near future.
