Well, it’s one week into my move to Appledom and it’s blissful. I know my way around OSX pretty well due my previous jobs but the PowerBook is all new to me.

I’ve moved my pictures over and a few of my documents but I’ve decided to make a clean break from my previous computing life and start anew. My old W32 box will always be around so there’s no point in moving everything off of it.

Some thoughts in point form (because point form takes up more room and makes it look like I’m actually blogging something meaningful)

  • light sensing keyboard. too cool for words
  • trackpad. use 2 fingers to scroll and navigate back and forth, 1 to move the cursor. very nice but takes a little getting used to
  • mail2. awesome spam filter, kinda odd interface, smart folders rock. good enough
  • dashboard. sad ripoff of Konfabulator, so I just use Konfabulator now that it’s free.
  • spotlight. finds everything, no stupid dogs
  • airport. who knew wireless was cool? ;)

    • Apple could up with an updated PowerBook anytime and I’d be fine with it; this thing is everything I could want in a laptop. I’m going to pickup a hard drive enclosure and throw in one of the spare hard drives that currently litter my apartment. Maybe another stick of RAM too but both of these items are just nice to have.

    I think the only thing that was missing was some of that lovely, protective film…
