I recently made my current dream workstation a reality. It’s a new MacBook Pro (2.5 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 250GB hard drive, dual boot between OS X and XP, 512MB NVidia display), with a Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP 24″ Monitor and MyBook 1TB NAS hard drive.

In setting everything up, my new workstation is trying to index a tremendous amount of information. Everything that was copied from my old laptop, everything on the external harddrive, and everything on Rachel’s computer. Spotlight can’t seem to handle it at the moment.

Apparently, 2.5 million years ago, during the time of Australopithecus Africanus, my computer was already indexed.
