Jefferson Consulting was
there... as Jason D. O'Grady of PowerPage was the keynote speaker tonight at the
April meeting of the Macintosh Users of Delaware. Jason spoke to the
group about Apple's new Intel-based MacBook Pro
and brought his own unit to demonstrate all of the advantages of
this mobile computing powerhouse. He pointed out that in addition
to the Intel Duo Core processor, the MacBook Pro has a very fast
667MHZ backside bus, Serial ATA drive, a 67% brighter display, and
it is overall "faster than you can imagine."
Jason also discussed the newly announced MacBook Pro 17" model, and Apple's Boot Camp public beta software that allows Windows XP to run on an Intel-based Mac. In addition to Boot Camp, there is a new "desktop virtualization" solution for Intel Macs called Parallels Workstation, which will run XP and other operating systems "in parallel" with Mac OS X.
Jason also talked about his favorite toy which allows him to digitally record podcasts while he drives in his car.
He wrapped up his presentation with some background information about "The Case," resulting from a story he ran in November 2004 about a never-released Apple product. According to O'Grady, Apple wants the courts to compel his internet service provider to release all of his email so that the source of the "leak" can be discovered.
