Birthday Surprise

Today's my birthday, and my lovely bride surprised me with an upgrade to OS X for my Mac.

It was a surprise, because I had not dropped any hints, much less asked for it. In fact, I had been quite vocal about not wanting to upgrade my OS until I was also able to get a new computer with OS X already installed. I just didn't want to deal with the hassle (and possible complications) of disrupting my current setup... said setup being what I depend on daily for my work.

But, like the faithful and loving geek-wife she is (that's "wife of a geek," not "geek of a wife," by the way...) she went and did it anyway.

Oh...and you should see how she wrapped it...

...in a 17", aluminum alloy Apple G4 PowerBook!!!!

She even threw in a copy of MS Office X and an extra 512K of RAM for good measure.

I'm not worthy... I'm not worthy... I'm not worthy...

...but I sure am grinning!

Thanks, Dawn! It's been a good one...but, man, I'm getting old! ;-)

Wow! Enjoy that sweet powerbook. As a 15" pb user, I can say it's been a great investment. You are *so* going to love OS 10. Just remember to start saving for the 10.3 upgrade in Sept.! :-)

Bryan, I suspect there are a *lot* of things I'm going to have to start saving for now!

Any recommendations for a good "how to" book on OS X?

A "How To" book? I thought Macs just read your mind or something. ;)

Natalie, that's what I'm talking about...a "how-to" book to properly train my mind for the OS X meld process!
