I think maybe a Core 2 Duo MBP may be in order.<BR/><BR/>As for doing something useful with the current laptop; [i] I don't think that'll solve the wireless, [ii] it's really out of my hands as my code depends on RHEL-or-something-similar so that if I get a different OS, I end up needing some virtualisation doodad. If I need to pay for that (which, let's face it, for the good solutions I do) then I may as well hold off for a Mac. OpenSolaris is indeed nice, and has good useful features but in reality I'm more likely to plump for a FreeBSD derivative first, OpenBSD second, Ubuntu third (arranged in a "how much I like it"<->"is everything supported" kindof hierarchy).Graham Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305141119009757571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25595390.post-1160421476853009042006-10-09T20:17:00.000+01:002006-10-09T20:17:00.000+01:00I'd hang on until the Meroms arrive, which should ...I'd hang on until the Meroms arrive, which should make for cooler laptops.<BR/><BR/>Until then, how about installing some real OS on the box? OpenSolaris is quite nice nowadays, and there's an active laptop community for it. (Meaning: things you took for granted on OS X are starting to appear.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
