Some people say that Apple Macintosh users are elitists. If that’s the case, I just became rather elite. I’m now typing this on my shiny new MacBook Pro.
On Wednesday, I started a new job at the Wasatch Front Regional Multiple Listing Service (WFR). When I started, they gave me the choice of what kind of computer I wanted. I had the option of a laptop, desktop, PC, Mac, etc. I’ve had my eyes on a MacBook Pro for some time (since OS X came out and I realized it was built on BSD), but just never had enough guts to spend a lot of money on something I might not really like. So I let the company spend that money. 
First thing I got when I got to the office on Wednesday morning is a bright shiny 17 inch MacBook Pro. And I quickly got to work configuring it and making it my own.
