What was going through my mind when I decided to spend money we didn't have on a MacBook Pro? Convergence. I have a G4 iMac that holds most of my personal effects like music, email, and pictures. And I have a Gateway Wintel laptop that has more than a decade of personal and business financial records. Even more importantly the Windows laptop runs the navigation system that keeps our boat off the rocks and helps avoid other hazards to navigation.
The idea that all these functions could fit onto one computer was too big a temptation to pass up. It has arrived and fulfills all expectations.

Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.
J.M. Barrie
What's not possible is not to choose
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much . . . the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons.
Douglas Adams (1952-2001), THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY
I saw him even now going the way of all flesh, that is to say towards the kitchen.
John Webster (1580-1625)
When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing herself with me more than I with her?
Michel de Montaigne (1533-92)
"Business!" cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. "Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!"
Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
