Blogging on Air

By sheril on February 13, 2008.

Well folks, I've converted. Officially. This post comes straight from my new MacBook Air. Now I know all the naysayers had plenty to tell me about the merits of the MacBook Pro over the streamlined Air, but keep in mind what I was looking for.

My post over at Correlations is now up on the new features I've discovered exploring Appledom and so far, I'm extremely impressed.

And here's the thing--if I do run into some hiccups along the way, you can bet I'll let readers know. Let's hope that this new model is all it's promised to be, because at the moment, I'm blogging on Air...

Six years in the blogosphere...
Has it really been six years? Six years ago today, on a dim and dreary Saturday in December, almost on a whim I sat down, went to Blogspot, and started up the first version of Respectful Insolence with an introductory post with the cliched title, Please allow me to introduce myself. Here it is, six…

I had predicted that you'd go for the MacBook Pro, but that was before the MacBook Air was released. I'm jealous now. Enjoy!

Also, be sure to check out iconfactory.com for a lot of cool free Mac stuff.

Def keep us posted please. I want one, but I'm waiting to find out if there are problems.

Well then, who DID you listen to? Was it me? Oooh, please say it was me and not Justin Long!
