After much thinking and pondering and waxing nostalgic about all things Mac (as well and Macromedia and Adobe), I've decided that, screw it, I'm saving my freelance pennies and buying a 20" Intel-based iMac for my home office.
(I've even created a new category on this blog to archive the process)
Excellent...once we find the Jade Monkey, this plan will all come together...
