Today, after over a year of working with a machine that crashes, holds no more than 5 minutes of battery, and cannot run half of the programs I need to accomplish even the most basic creative tasks, I finally found the courage to click the ‘place my order’ button on the Apple Store.  I’ve configured probably over 20 different cart variations (you know you’ve done it–nothing wrong with wishful thinking), and I finally landed on the one shown above.  In just a week I’ll have the custom-designed Timbuk2 messenger bag above, Final Cut Express, MS Office ‘08, Adobe CS3, and a brand new, aluminum 15″ MacBook Pro!!

I cannot express the excitement and joy I am feeling right now!  The time to create great things is upon us, and I am finally going to have the tools to make it happen.  I can’t wait!

(for you techies out there interested in the specs:  320 GB Serial ATA @ 7200, 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM – 2×2GB, SuperDrive 8x, and both NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and 9600M of course)
