It’s 2 years old, time for a new rotation of equipment. I really really wanted an Apple MacBook Pro but I could not justify the cost compared to a deal I got through DELL for a XPS 630 desktop (8GB Ram, 640GB Harddrive, QuadCore Intell Processor, nVidia GeoForce GTX280 video card w/ 1GB Ram, Dual 48x DVD/CD burners, Speakers, NO MONITOR).  I got much more power and computer for about $400 less. I know, I know, the Mac is a much superior machine, but I just had bad luck with these laptops lately, and couldn’t afford the Mac Pro. Maybe when iBarnett makes its first million? :)

It should arrive on Thursday the 26th, but my dv9000 will be sold on eBay and be shipped by Monday. So, I will have a few days there with no computer. I’m sure Kristi and the kids will love that!! Though, on the 26th, I am paying my family to leave for the evening so I can put together my new toy and get it all setup!!!

Anyway, just wanted to get y’all up-to-date on iBarnett’s equipment matters. It took me a good 1.5 weeks to come to the decision after configuring computers online about 100 times.

Being Mr. dumb dumb, I read on Apple’s site that the SDK is for Macs only. I need me a Mac! I hope they come out with the Exchange software soon. That is what I’m most excited about.

Well, tonight I’m working again. Hoping to finish a bit early, so I can get my beauty rest for my birthday tomorrow. Yeah, it’s my birthday tomorrow, 3/8, and I’m still Phat as ever! Maybe even Phatter. I hear the Phatness gets larger and easier to get as you get older.

Speaking of older. I have been chosen to be on the cover of a magazine at work and, I found out that other people were asked but turned down because they looked too young. I was “perfect for the shoot” is what I was told. But now it’s kind of depressing to realize it’s because I look old!

– PHAT!
