Nice stuff G! Sounds like it has been quite the smooth takeover. I like it!

[Stokely]

@Giles:

Just did that myself. Fucking love it! However I do think Steve Jobs has his hands entirely too deep in all of my pockets. Enjoy G!

BTW I invested in a handmade leather sleeve for mine. May not be the slickest or most practical protection for such a slim piece of machinery, but it does make me feel real…..................................Iron Heart.;)

Great idea, phone call to Will@Aero on Monday…...................

I went for a leather manilla envelope style slip for my Air in homage to Mr Jobs Macworld 2008 "revel".

I use a neoprene sleeve for my Macbook Pro by Built NY. It doesn't look as cool as leather, but it looks cool in a techie kind of way, holds my power brick, magic mouse and usb drive in it's external pockets. Great for keeping track of things during travel

Finally went and got my eye glasses… so weirdddd. I can go back and get my renewed Driver's License too now. Yay (Couldnt pass the vision test... wearing the IHSH-32 did not help, much to my dismay)

Driving back to work i could see waaaaay off in the distance... actually read the street signs before i get to them rather than say "WHAT THE EFF I WAS SUPPOSED TO TURN BACK THERE!!!1!" though things kind of tilt along the edges as i look around. Makin me slightly ill but not too bad. Everyone says its normal and i'll get used to it. Man i hope so. She fitted them to my face but uhhh a couple hours later and they feel like they've bent back to their original position they're slightly loose on my face.

But... glasses... so weird. Well. I am 30 so i guess i held out as long as i could (same with losing my hair haha)

Quit whining, kiddo   some of us have been wearing glasses all their lives…I got mine when I was 5, so over 40 yrs ago.

[Chris]

Yeah, I've been in glasses since kindergarten.  Looong time; in fact, I don't really remember not having glasses.

And it's true- you will get used to the tilting thing, probably take about a week or so.  Oh, and don't be shy about going back for readjustments on your fit.  It usually takes a couple of tries to get them totally right.  I need to get my current pair readjusted, in fact.  Damn things slide down my nose continually.
