whoah. i just got a macbook pro (2.16ghz, 15" widescreen) so sweet. I love it. first thing I did was install ruby 1.8.4 (it comes with 1.8.2) and then rails. and then downloaded trial version of textmate. pretty slick.
ok, actually, the first thing i did was move the dock to the left side of the screen. hello!! its a widescreen! everyone should have their dock on the left.
I had a crazy experience buying it too. maybe I'll post a journal article. basically I got a $2674 (2499+tax from Apple.com) for $2149 total.
BUT! they were a bait-and-switch outfit and I had to trick them into shipping it to me.
