Stop the presses Danny Sulivan buys a Macintosh computer!
Danny bought a MacBook Pro, 15″ screen, 2.4 GHz.

Danny Sullivan and his MacBook Pro

Here’s the deal. All the Search Engine Land editors had a meeting at SMX West, as Barry’s blogged. I sat down and flipped open my trusty Toshiba Windows XP machine, which I’ve had to go back to while my super-wonderful Sony Vista laptop goes back for repairs. I was the only one without a Mac. Sigh. I knew I’d been beaten.

Plus, the new Macbooks had come out. So I now own a MacBook Pro, 15″ screen, 2.4 GHz. I bought VMWare so that I can get Windows XP running on it, as my security blanket. And I was mean and rude to the Mac employee who sold it to me, complaining I should be able to just buy Mac software for my Intel computers and what, Steve Jobs doesn’t have enough money that he has to resist that.

Danny Sullivan and an Apple computer the next thing you know he will be moving from the UK to the US.
What Danny is moving to California?

After 12 years of living in the UK, I’m going home — back to Southern California, back to Newport Beach.

The next thing you know Danny will be attending SEMpdx SearchFest ‘09.

late,
gary pool
