Within a scant 48 hours I will be ordering my mew MacBook Pro and an extra external 500GB hard drive, since it's so damned cheap. (and likely a new airport express, to improve up my signal) Waiting for a check to clear never took so damn long!

What I'm pondering is names. For those that don't know, its pretty common for mac users to name their computers. And not like "HD1", but real names.

Currently, with the exception of Howie the EX-powerbook (He's not dead, he's pining!), my macs and drives have been named after either scifi/fanatasy hotties (For instance my external is named "trider"). This time I'm leaning to swarthy, brooding hunky eurotrash actors that I'm so fond of.

The current favorite for the ProBook is Clive, after Clive Owen of course who is the object much desire. (If you haven't seen'hoot'em Up' in theatres - GO NOW!!! It's probably in second run cheap screens! Good! See it twice!) 

Any name suggestions accepted, and second place finishers will go to the external.

And oh yes, in accordance with the "where's my damned camera!?" postings of a few years ago, I'll be doing hourly updates following my baby's progress in shipping home to me, and then flickr/blog the box opening ceremony. Aren't you excited? I know I am.

I really should start picking out some sexy music for the occasion, maybe some Barry White.
