AlBook2 is on its way
My new laptop has shipped. It’s still in Shanghai, but it’s shipped. Woo hoo.
My previous laptop was named “TiBook” because it was a Powerbook Titanium. My current one is named “AlBook” because it’s an aluminum Powerbook. So what should I name my MacBookPro?

Wow, you’re really into exciting names.
My TiBook was bertie (since I was running its Wallstreet predecessor as a server, “jeeves”). My AlBook (17″, natch) was named Albertus Magnus, nicknamed “Big Al”. My MacBook Pro is Sybil, since she has had OS X, WinXP, Solaris 10 and Solaris 11 in her head at various times. And yes, the various instances were named after various personalities.
How about Oscar, since you’ll be on the Big Screen?

“Bob” is a good start. How ’bout “Bob’s Your Uncle”?
How ’bout publishing some specs and maybe a general price range if I’m not too brazen for asking. Thanx.
