Mac Daddy

May 9th, 2005

Guess who got a G5 at work today? *glee* A dual 2.5 GHz with 2 gigs of RAM! My God, what a sweet machine. Compared to the G4 400 MHz I had been using, the G5 is a whole other world. Of course I’ll need to give it back once the new G5’s arrive but for now, it’s mine. I’ve never used such a speedy machine. Hopefully, everyone just forgets about the fact that I have it…

I installed Panther and Tiger on it and Tiger is nice. Mail sucks and refused to work for me so I’m back to Entourage which I can live with. Spotlight rocks while Dashboard is disappointing. It’s not like Konfabulator where you can leave the widgets running on the desktop.

With Dashboard you call the widgets and they all come up but you can’t do any other work. Click on the desktop and all your widgets return to the dock. WTF?

*Mental Note* Set aside $15 for Konfabulator when I finally get my own Mac.

    Oooo, a G5. Sounds impressive. I must say that I did enjoy OSX on some of the test machines at Blast when I was there. If I have a ton of spare cash, I may just buy a Mac.

    As for Konfabulator, it definately seems that it was designed for Mac and poorly ported to PC. I had problems with it, so uninstalled it.
