So, we’ve been slowly getting the new Mac Pro together: I ordered RAM from Other World Computing ($350 vs. around $2,000 from Apple), moved over the hard drives from my former imaging workstation (now Linda’s computer), downloaded vital updates and software and otherwise been provisioning the new machine. Tomorrow we’ll do the (for me) hard stuff: get on the floor and get all the cables et al connected.

I’ve thought this through and made a Fry’s run to get extender cables et al. so I can deal with future upgrades just by pulling the tower out from its perch under the World HQ counter – the Mac Pro has glides on the base that make it easy to slide on our hardwood floors. This machine is very fast…
