My good friend, Andrew, just bought a brand new, loaded 1Ghz 12-inch with Superdrive, 512MB of RAM, Airport Extreme, and a 20GB iPod to boot. Needless to say, I am supremely envious, as my non-tech-minded friend’s new computer surpasses my own beat-up, first generation 12-inch. But, as his guru friend, I get to play with his new toy this Sunday, when he will bring it by for me to configure and tweak it for his specific needs. A small, evil part of me wishes he were gullible enough for me to pull a switcheroo on him, using Carbon Copy Cloner to make his machine mine and my machine his, but unfortunately, Andrew is a pretty bright bulb, even though he’s not too tech-minded, and I, of course, am cursed with this darn conscience and a mind over-crowded with ideas of ethics and morality…
In any case, I will most likely post about the tweaking experience after the weekend, for you 12-inchers interested in ways to optimize your computing experience.
