Good & Bad News

Well as I was sitting here working late I get an email from google telling me that apple was upgrading the processor speed on the new Mac Book Pro’s at no coast to me. So I called Mac Mall to confirm this & that is when he punched me in the stomach. He told me that me computer wont be at Mac Mall until the 20th & they will ship it to me on the 21st. That Sucks. Leave it to apple to wait until the last minute to notify people. Oh well at least I get a faster computer at no cost to me. Here is what apple’s press release said:
