Chasing Nuts

My fist two weeks with the laptop have been a real joy.  Normally I spend days setting up a new system but I was able to transfer everything including installed programs from my Imac over to my MacBook Pro.  I REALLY like how apple does this and I wish that every system let you move installed applications so easily. I bet it saved me 45+ hours of work, this is why I am now Steve Jobs fanboy.  

When at my house I connect my laptop to my apple display and use a bluetooth key board and mouse.  I love the setup but recently some called to attention one ‘problem’ with it.  I wanted to have the laptop the same height as the screen so when I looked around my den I grabbed the fist thing I had that was the desired height.

I have not used my copy of Office XP Developer in some time due to the fact I purchased Office 2008 for the mac.  I love it when I am able to reuse something however it is a bit of an eye sore compared to the rest of the setup.   Does anyone know of a good laptop stand that is frugal?  I just spend all my play money on a new laptop to I have to be price conscious.  If you do know of one drop me a e-mail or leave a comment on the blog please.  

Once again I am dead to Jorge :-)

I just about laughed so hard I  was crying this morning when I saw a hilarious look at how rumors get started for new Apple Products.  If you do not have a sense of humor and/or are a huge Mac zealot you may not want to read it.   Some great quotes for those to lazy to read the whole thing:

• “Will it work with my ten-year-old Quadra 840AV running Mac OS 8.1?”
• “underemployed web designers and independent musicians struggle to clear credit card space.”
• ““Will it play multiplexed Ogg Vorbis streams?” become matters of life and death.”
• “Business Week publishes an article stating that unless Apple immediately releases a Windows version of the new product its market share will continue to shrink and Apple will be out of business within six months.”

I have had my Imac for over six months and I am very pleased with it. I have been telling people who ask me about Vista to just get a mac and I think this add helps explains why:

So I have to say a part of me had died this weekend. Fortunately another part of me has awoken. I have now joined the ranks of a Mac owner. It is amazing honestly that it has not happened sooner. With all the computer toys I have owned over time I am surprised I held out this long. So lets talk about the new toy, went to the Apple store Friday and picked up the new 20 inch Imac and a 30-gigabyte Ipod. Out of the box my experience has been very good, it is true about the Mac, things just work. Plugged in my printer I could print. Plugged my Camera and I was storing pictures into Iphoto and uploading them to Flickr. Some things are not where I expect them to be and I have been a bit frustrated over the weekend but on the whole I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. More then anything I like how quitet the system and I thought I would never say this about a Mac but I like the new mouse, the 4 way little scroll wheel is supper slick. I do not think I will be a true diehard Mac zealot but I see now where they are coming from.
