As of Thursday, October 27, my main brain once again has an Apple logo on it. You may recall that I was expecting to wait until Halloween to get it — ground shipping from Shanghai and all that — but FedEx really pulled a fast one on me. It showed up at my door on Thursday — twenty-five hours after leaving China. Yeah, there may be some International Date Line magic in there, but I don’t believe so. Major cool points to Apple and FedEx for managing customer expectations and then brilliantly exceeding them.

The Powerbook is a great machine, and I’m really enjoying it. I’ve even been able to buckle down and do some actual writing with it. I expected to spend a good week tweaking and playing on it, but as soon as I got all my settings and apps copied over from the iMac (a process that occurred flawlessly while I slept), I wanted to start writing with it. So here’s my first post from the Powerbook (well, yesterday’s Startup Junkie ping was the first, but who’s counting?).

I had to sell my first Powerbook because it wasn’t suited for the job I was trying to use it for. It feels good to know that this one is serving its exact purpose so far.
