Welcome To The Family
My new 17″ MacBook Pro is here. :) This is about as close as I’m ever going to get to the sensation of being a proud new parent. Ridiculous grin on my face and supreme over-protectiveness of my new baby. Woe betide anyone who threatens to inflict harm on her. Especially considering how big a fuss I had to kick up to ensure she came to me in perfect condition.
I’m still trying to think of a name for this new addition to the happy geeky family, and I actually also never got round to naming my 30D. Nor my 1V. Nor the Pentax ME or Fujica AX-3, for that matter. Oh! I didn’t even name my latest iPod!
Perhaps I should just give up on this naming thing. Haha. Oh well. Named or not, you know I love each one of you ridiculously.
And no, I’m not chucking the 12″ PowerBook out just ‘cos I have an MBP! But if anyone wants to buy her from me and will promise to give her a good retirement home, I just might consider that. (Also the bunny wants to have a laptop in the living room so we can surf and watch TV at the same time. I’m not sure why exactly she seems to think that any of the other two laptops aren’t portable but I’m not complaining if I get to keep dana.)

No, you’re definitely not alone. Actually, most of my friends name their gadget-babies.

Oh that grin takes weeks to disappear believe me – I still get one (not a huge one mind, but it’s there).. every time I boot up my new PC.. of course it could just be cuz of my 20″ monitor heh.
But congrats on the sex-hay new piece of geek gear!
