Friends are a wonderful thing!

So after I make my previous post about my laptop dying, I'm having dinner with some friends. I mention my laptop dying, and with absolutely no expectations, out of the blue my friend Mac offers to loan me a 17" MacBook Pro!

I said yes.

It's about the same age as my 15", and it doesn't have my software and bookmarks, but it will still be a lot more useful than no computer would be.

Steve is a heck of a guy.

Now to find out if his World of Warcraft has the latest patches....
