Meet Buffle

Meet Buffle. Buffle is a new 13-inch MacBook. Buffle is white, and is named after the buffle-head ducks on Monona Bay which are also (mostly) white.

Buffle is cute. Buffle Just Works, unlike the horrid PC with Windows XP I’m having to use at work (and yes I am going to lobby for a Mac just as hard as ever I can, but this is a big uni and it’s fixated on Microsloth and I have to make a case for myself; in the meantime, Cygwin makes the PC suck slightly less).

Buffle is ours; I will travel with it and use it as my personal machine, and David will take it to the library to work on his dissertation with.

Buffle is downloading all the backed-up stuff from before the move. This will take Buffle a while (not Buffle’s fault; it’s a powerful lot of stuff). I’m very pleased to have Buffle, and I expect we’ll be good friends for a long time.
