I would be in for a t-shirt, especially if it had a picture of Jerry Harvey on it.

That defines awesome!

Nice! Smart Monkey is smart.

I played with the 13" rMBP at our bookstore last week. Messed around with it for about 1/2 hour and did not get any lags. Not sure if it was much of a test as it did not have any software that would have stressed the GPU on it. The screen sure was pretty. I'm still going with the 11" MBA because inverse size matters.

Ignoring cost, since this is HC, 13" rMBP. Fini!

Yep, hence I will have my GPS ( in fact multiple ), a good portable zombie apocalypse knife and my don't fuck with me face, honed from growing up in Chicago.

Thanks for the info my man. I will likely rent a car as I am fairly familiar with Atlanta from my time living in Athens, GA and Aiken, SC.

Noted and entered onto the map.

Different Freddy's, thank goodness.

Yep, but that may be a bit spendy also. I agree, USB 3 seems pretty quick for most storage needs IMO. I do prefer the drives where you can upgrade the connector such as the Go-Flex or Backup-Plus line of drives, although they do cost more. That also reminds me, is it now possible to set up a Bootcamp drive over TB, or are you still limited to using an internal drive? That would certainly make my life easier and lighter when I get my new MBA.

Wow! 39 years is epic. Congrat Lloyd and congrat Becky!

If you are using a mechanical drive versus an SSD you will not see any speed advantage with TB over USB 3.0.

The reason I am arriving on Thursday is so I can buy some good Bourbon and beer for the weekend. Dinny, we need to parlay over some good Bourbon.

Marantz 5007 MSRP $850, IP addressable, airplay compatible and full preouts.

Freddy's beats the shit out of both of them.

You can count me in for a room for Thursday through Saturday nights. The only wild card here is I do it know when the spring soccer tournaments are.

I would suggest going with one of the networking receivers or PrePros from Marantz or Denon. They are solidly buildt and the firmware is very well done. It is still amazing to me how it has simplified my HT system and made it easier to use.

I missed Al's post earlier. But I highly recommend the Marantz receivers and Pre/Pros. Not only are they IP addressable but they are Airplay enabled which will simplify your life immensely. Me: Roomie Remote + AirPlay >>> iPeng + Logitech Media Server

Happy Birthday Adrian!

Hmm, maybe a field trip HERE is in order. Unless someone has an even better idea.

I use parallels on my work machine without any issues. Probably need to upgrade one of these days. Still using parallels 6.

I did not think anyone would notice.

Happy Birthday Mike!

I love Atlanta, so I will do my best to make this. It looks good now and I would need a room from Friday through Sunday night.

Happy Belated Birthday Grahame!
