Small White ComputerWell folks it’s gonna be a bittersweet week next week. Why? Well, a new small white computer is coming to town from Taoyuan City, Taiwan. And I’m not sure how I feel about that. It’s going to be a great machine. It’s a 14” iBook, armed with a 1.33 GHz G4 processor 768 megs of RAM and an 80 GB disk. Going to be quite the little speed demon. And I’m very excited about it. Planning to make use of the faster processor for better compiles of PhoneValet, faster runs of my model and much faster photo editing and processing. As well as video editing tools, etc. (Trevor your 8mm rips have inspired me to give it a shot myself if I can find a projector!) So why a bittersweet week then? Well, I am the type to get attached to everything. I’m trying to break this habit a bit, and have accordingly decided to avoid making emotional bonds with socks. However, letting go of my previous baby is going to be very hard. Its 600 Mhz of G3 processing power have been put to good use though, and one commercial product was born within it, as was SlimBatteryMonitor and DateTree, as well as 3 or 4 unfinished projects that may see the light of day sometime. This blog too! I probably have spent an average of 8-10 hours per day, every day, working on the old box. I’m not sure what will happen to the old iBook. It belongs to Parliant, so either it will be absorbed into the lab there, or it will be sold. Sigh. Of course, right after I ordered the iBook the rumors have begun of an iBook G5 (suggested here) but what can you do? I need it now… the old machine has to spend a month in service to get a new screen… again!
