Well, actually it’s been here since this morning. I’m working on getting it configured properly now. One of the main things left is to move the virtual machine I created in VMware Workstation on the Vista machine to test my sites and scripts on over to this machine. So far, for some reason, the larger files just don’t want to copy over the network. I may have to copy them to a USB drive and then copy them from the drive to here … we will see.

This machine is massive (or at least looks like it is) compared to the old 15″ Powerbook. The extra screen real estate is wonderful. With the old machine, when I was at my desk, I was using a 19″ LCD as my primary monitor, and the Powerbook display as my secondary display. I’ve reversed the setup here … the LCD is my secondary display. Right now I’m not really using it for much of anything … but I know I will in the future … referring to documentation, etc.

I’m glad I stepped up to the 17″ model. It’s well worth the added cost, especially given how often I end up working out of the office with my laptop.

Now that I’m back on my Mac again, I’ll (hopefully) get back on track with posting blog articles and such …
