New Notebook - Enter the MacBook Pro

I changed jobs a few months back and I had to return my laptop, so It was a perfect opportunity for me to buy a new piece of equipment (the 13 other laptops I own weren't good enough). With the adoption of the Intel chipset for the Apple platform the Apples had been looking more and more appealing. Let me state that I am no stranger to the mac. I have 2 older G4's and iMac G5 and a PowerBook, but I was never ready to make the switch while living and working in a windows world.
So once Apple moved to Intel and once I was able to run Windows natively, I knew I had to have one. I bought the laptop and voided the warranty the same week. I cracked it open and loaded it with 4GB of DDR2 PC 5400 RAM and threw in a Seagate Momentus 200GB 7200 rpm SATA Drive......It's blazing! BTW, I bought the 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo in a 15" wide with the back-lit LED display. The Display is gorgeous, HD movies look unreal!

New hobbies - Sony Alpha Digital SLR

OK, The hobbies have changed, I still like the R/C stuff but I have shifted focus for the time being Hopfully I will keep up with my posts and update more frequently.

It's been about a year now since I got this "Bad Boy", I was taking photos of my Orchids (another hobby) with my Olympus c40-40 and I was not able to get the effect I was looking for with the old point and shoot. I convinced my wife the I "had" to have this Sony so we bought it. Not knowing much about photography in general, I surely didn't know what I was getting into. Anyway this camera is probably why I don't do much R?C anymore.. Too much time spent learning Photography. I have since purchased a bunch of lenses and tripods, a flash, bags and backpacks, a light tent, a bounce reflector, and the list goes on.
