My New Toy

27 Jul 2003

Got my new 12” PowerBook on Friday. It was easy to import my email archives and I’ve gotten some music over as well. While I was able to get iTunes to play Ogg Vorbis files, and it recognized the song and album names, it did not get the track numbers. Other than that things are going smoothly. The apps I’ve downloaded so far include: Fire (multi protocol chat), Watson (similar to Sherlock), Camino (sweet browser), NetNewsWire (news reader), MacJournal (desktop journal app), Kung-Log (desktop Moveable Type client (which this is being posted from) and Windows Media Player (Tour de France internet radio broadcast was in some windows media format).

Mac switching tip of the day: if you want to delete the character in front of the cursor (like windows delete does) use fn (function) delete.

    It is true. I have joined the cult. What can I say? It’s got cool apps, it’s based off FreeBSD and it’s pretty… it’s sooo pretty.

    I currently don’t plan on selling my desktop. Seems like it would be hard to ask much for it as it is 4 years old and new computers are so cheap. But it’s still works well for me and I have Red H Linux 9.0 and Windows XP on it. I can help you look for a computer though if you’re wanting to get one.
