Parallels 5 for Mac

A co-worker tipped me off to a great deal on http://www.mupromo.com/.  For another week you can get the following software for your Mac for only 49.99:

• Parallels 5
• Spell Catcher X
• Timeline 3D
• Hydra
• Back-In-Time
• WebSnapper
• ForeverSave
• Hyperspaces
• MacDVDRipper Pro
• MacScan

Considering that Parallels (Virtual Machine Software that’s rad) and Hydra both retail for $80 a piece, getting the whole bundle for 50 dollars is steel even if you’re looking for one of the included applications.  They accept credit card and Paypal; the transaction and download was fast.  I received an email detailing my activation keys in seconds after purchasing.

Mac users, come alive and check this out!

Apple Mac Book Pro

Long have I thought about getting a laptop, anymore I don’t generally like being chained to one singular space … I like the idea of mobility.  One of the other ideas I like is the idea that things should be simple and easy to use.  Mind you I’m a Windows Server Team of Lead of six Windows Administrators, I’m not supposed to like Apple products or something to that nature.  I think they’re probably supposed to turn my hands green.

I did a lot of thinking, comparing, and waiting before I bought the Mac Book Pro (2.8Ghz Dual Core, 500GB Hard drive, 4GB of Memory, with a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT with 512MB Video card).  I’ve had the laptop since Saturday evening, I didn’t turn it on until Sunday morning.  Since then I’m completely happy with this new setup.  I’ve only had one problem and that wasn’t the laptops fault, it was the sales guys for handing me the wrong DVI adapter for my external monitor.  That was exchanged today for the correct one.

I’ll be writing up something more in-depth very soon.

I is very happy with teh lappy.
