If you’ve been around for me the last couple of weeks you’ve no doubt heard me profess how much I hate my brand new shiny MacBook Pro. The incredibly lack of responsiveness, whether falling behind keypresses when typing or the 5 second pause of death between switching windows, had me nostalgic for the days of vi over a 2400 baud modem.

Well, as suspected, the issue turned out to be related to the particular setup of my mac. There is something severly wrong with the corporate image installed on this mac that was remedied by creating a new user from scratch.

So, I am now less in hate with the mac. It feels and respondes like a soviet era 386, which is a vast improvement over how it has been the last month or so. I’m still not drinking the coolaid, but at least now I’m willing to taste a small sip.
