MacBook impressions

The MacBook arrived today. It’s very nice, and very fast. I also went through the Bootcamp setup process, and got a large portion of my Windows environment setup and installed quite a bit of software — no problems. It’s still going to be inconvenient to reboot to swap environments, but you do what you gotta do, ya know?

Compiles are blazingly fast. I setup Ruby/Lighttpd/FastCGI tonight and was amazed how quickly “make” burned through the installs. Definitely noticeably faster than it was doing the same setup on my single-processor G5.

I’m also pleasantly surprised at how many of my regularly used apps are already available as Universal Binaries.
