I was copying some very large files and I was wondering what the best way to do it was. I started it on a 300Mbps N network from my Air to my iMac. Both are wireless and therefore each have an effective throughput of 150Mbps. It was going to take about 16 hours to transfer 50GB. Then I considered plugging my drives straight into the USB. However, that would have required ejecting them from the iMac and then finding a USB cable as they are both plugged in with Firewire 800. Then I caught it. I bought a USB Ethernet Adapter with my Core Duo iMac for my home server. All right I said to myself. I will make an exception this one time and make my MacBook Air not wireless. It was truly a hard decision... but it is done and transferring now.

I don't know about you guys, but 95º is the coldest I have ever seen a Core2Duo run. And no, this is not the instant I woke the MacBook Air from sleep. I had been using it and reading that PDF there for at least 10 minutes. As you can see I also did not bump the fan speed up to decrease the CPU Temp. However, it was 6:30AM and quite cold outside at the Caltrain station where I was waiting to go to work.

I will need to make another post about my new iMac and my new house that I live in. But here is the apple on the front. The apple is just solid gloss black. It makes a rather nice reflection. You can see my sexy aluminum keyboard in the apple. Sweet.
