So, as you may have heard, Apple has released the first MacIntel into the world. The new iMacs, available today, are powered by the Intel Core Duo chip. But the crowning glory of the event was the MacBook Pro, the beautiful and fast new notebook. Finally! I’ve been waiting forever for them to make the announcement, and in Febuary my dreams will become a reality. I got so excited that I gave myself an ulcer.
Wait, what?
Yes, it’s true. I was wisked from the Macworld Expo off to the hospital, where I sat for 5.5 hours, first in excruciating pain, and then in a stupor. My stomach has been weird for weeks, as you all know, but last night it really got out of control. And this morning… well, I did everything I could to ignore it for the keynote, but Molly finally stuck me in a cab with $20 in my hand and sent me to St. Francis.
My boss came to the hospital, and told me to not come in tomorrow. I am crushed. Macworld is my favorite thing. I’m going to try to go anyway tomorrow, hopefully in time for the podcast. I’m so depressed. It hurts to eat a cracker. And I’m going to miss all the good Apple schwag. UUUGGHH.
Anyhow. I’m totally buying a MacBook Pro (the $2499 version, natch) come Feb. Got a few weeks to save! I want your opinions, people! Leave comments.

Veronica,
Step away from orchard! your health is WAY more important than your well intentioned Apple-loving. We want you to be around a whole lot longer. Besides, I know of your secret Apple Ninja training. Please take care or yourself. You’ve had a long couple of weeks.
Skip the podcasts, and get some rest. Not only are you exhausted, but you are like completely stressed-out. Please, forget about the things going on around you, and spend your time getting better.
I agree with the other commenters, you should take care of yourself and get better. There will always be more MacWorlds, but only one you.
Yup, it’s surely official – we love ya honey. Make sure you get better!
Now, as to the MacBook – from experience – go for the max you can afford and ride it as long as it will go. I did it with my TiBook and got lots of cycles from it!
Now… ……………………………………. in retrospect. How do you feel about this? MacBook 2006 was that Intel? FreeBSD core… but not sure if it was Intel accrossed the board. I am glad someone cared about you to make you stop… Cheers to the cab fare and your boss, then.
