Having recently attended the ACTEM conference (www.actem.org), I felt rejuvinated in my mission. David Warlick presented a thought provoking keynote, and all of the sessions were useful and informative. While using the new MacBook Pro in sessions on podcasting w/ iLife 06 and Keynote and Pages, I was struck by the simplicty of these programs and their high degree of performance. It also made me want to go out and buy the new MacBook Pro immediately. What a beautiful machine! It inspired me with its innovation and ease of use. I love the built in iSight camera - actually, I loved everything about it! Time to start saving my pennies (and nickels, dimes and quarters), because the model I would love to buy is around $2500. Remember just a few years ago when a new Pentium 100 cost that much!
