How I learned to stop worrying and love the new Mac Pro

New Mac Pros are available to order from Apple.  No really.  I felt like the boy that cried wolf when my clients asked me when to expect a new product release.   “Let’s see what they present during the next WWDC conference,” I would say.  Three WWDCs later, you can finally purchase a professional desktop Mac that isn’t behind the curve …
