a new 'puter?

So, Impolitic Eye has decided to expand our arsenal of computers by a factor of one. The thing is I can't decide between

• A new 13" MacBook, or


• A refurb 15" MacBook Pro (last generation), for the same price.

Any thoughts? Votes, suggestions, and comments are welcome.

I played with an iPhone today, finally. One of my part-time staff has one. I shouldn't have done it. Now I want one. They really are that cool.

hype and craving

It's taken me a few years to come back to being a technophile. I'm not entirely there yet, but my Core 2 Duo iMac and 30gb video iPod are becoming more central to my organization, communication, and entertainment. I am also keeping up more with the latest techno news, especially as it relates to Macs.

This is to say that I am paying attention to the iPhone. Hell, even David Pogue likes it, and that's saying a lot. He usually hates most things Apple.
