My [work](http://americasprinter.com/) bought me a [Macbook Pro](http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/) yesterday. Actually they cut a check to Apple, Inc. and I brought it to the Brea Mall Apple Store. This is the fastest personal computer I have ever owned, and it totally rocks. It is amazing how much faster this laptop is than my Dual G5 desktop. I have also started using some new software, specifically [iTerm](http://iterm.sourceforge.net/) and Newfire, before I was using Terminal and [NetNewsWire](http://www.newsgator.com/NGOLProduct.aspx?ProdID=NetNewsWire). I really dig the interface on both iTerm and [Newsfire](http://www.newsfirerss.com/). My only complaint about iTerm is that the bottom of the display butts up against the last line of text, I know this is very minor, but Terminal had a tiny bit of breathing room there.
