Ah, cost cutting: Until a couple of weeks ago, my work laptop was a nice Dell Latitude. (Nice when it worked, that is, which was roughly half the time.) Today, I got my new work laptop: a Toshiba Satellite 115CS. (That link is to an eBay auction; the opening bid is $99. No one’s bid on it yet, and that’s likely because it’s not worth it. My Toshiba has its little eraser-nub mini-joystick ripped off, a b&w screen, no CD-ROM — it’s an ancient piece of crap. Oh, and it won’t boot up.)
Which is why today I bought an iBook. (On sale — only $894! That’s a hell of a deal, people.) Color me happy. (And in debt.)

The iBook rules! Let me know how OS X runs on that puppy. How much ram do you have in it?
I got 384MB. I don’t know if I’m going to be running much OS X on it — 10.1 seems slow on my 466mhz G4, so I doubt it’ll seem snappy on a 500mhz G3.
bring it to the party tonight so we can all play with it!
it’s being overnighted to me, so you’ll just have to wait…
People, people. We can’t play with gadgets tonight. People will think we are computer geeks or something. Honestly, now.
Yeah, let’s get our priorities straight: tonight is for playing with our food, not our computers.
God Belo sucks so much ass. So let’s get this straight – a beat reporter, talented enough to have TWO bylines on the front page of the Sunday edition, and they give you a joke laptop? I say you expense your iBook. The corporate swine probably wouldn’t even notice. If they balk, we can go burn down the building. I know where we can get some kerosine.
