Toyz and training

[elissande]

I just got a new (almost) MacBook Air in the staff sale. It's very nice. I now have computing power available for all situations - desktop, laptop and phone. Now to decide what information needs to be on all of them.

And last week I spent at training in the city. Lead Auditor - Quality management Systems. Getting the paper qualifications for what I've already been doing. The training was very good, but very intense. Taking into account that I also had to get up early enough to get into the city by train for a 9 am start, it was pretty exhausting. At least the weather was good and I didn't have to walk to or from the station in the rain.

Yes, would be good to catch up. It doesn't look like we'll make it to Canberra till sometime in May.

Spoiled I say! :) I need a 12 step program for all you IPhone/Android users! Hey, does this mean I can use your laptop for taking minutes from now on? :)

Now that brings up a question. It doesn't have Office on it and I might do something radical and put Open Office on instead. Or maybe iWork. So at the moment, I'm not sure. But I'll bring it along tonight for general admiration of the toy. :)

So dos it have the SSHD or the sata hard drive?
We were looking at the Mac Book Air's the other day & thought that they would probably get rather hot.

But im happy for you with your shiney new toyness.

SATA hard drive.

It does get hot if you are doing CPU intensive stuff. Styvyn and I played with Photobooth the other night and it definitely got warm in one spot. But it does cool down quickly.

Shiny!
