Oooooh,  a MacBook? :-)


Nope, even with the hefty HE student discount, there is no way I could afford one.  I'm settling for a nice dinky little 12" iBook G4*

Which I'm actually typing this post on now.  So you can add "OS X 10.4 - 18 Hours, 14 minutes and counting" :-)


*Yes I know that all indications point to a new intel iBook being announced in April, however my {bleep} Dell laptop died an evil death at the weekend, plus after weighing it up, there wasn't really much benefit for me in the predicted features (Wider screen, iSight, Frontrow, etc)

How did your final year project go?  Are you still at Herts?
