Been working on sleeping better.

What can I do with a MacBook Pro that I couldn't do with a Thinkpad T61? Coverflow and everything related don't make a difference to me.

The airport motif is starting to show up in my dreams again. I don't usually put much stock in dreams, but some things I can't deny to myself. My airport dreams are portents of change, my subconscious acknowledging that things are not going to stay as they are. Not that I need them to tell me this! Last night I also dreamed that someone gave me a motorcycle. It was yellow, and had different sets of brakes for different speeds.

I think it's more important to ask what you'd like to do that a T61 can't, and see if a MacBook Pro can.

The one thing that comes to mind is a good native programming environment, but that doesn't hold up. I can get Visual Studio for free; if I want to code without it I can run Cygwin or even make GCC/G++ play nice with Eclipse. Eclipse also gets me Java. IDLE is what I'd start with for anything Python.
