The spacebar makes too much clicking noise, but I like the illuminated keyboard more than I thought I would. I do most of my writing after dark, and while I can type, it’s still nice to be able to see the keys.
I’m going to miss the PB keyboard overall though (dark or not).
The trackpad is simply huge. The scheme of making the back half physically clickable (the whole thing pivots…
I was going to label this post “heartbreaking news” but I thought that might worry too many folks (however accurate it may be).
I think the hard drive on my beloved PowerBook is about to fail. I keep duplicate copies of my critical data on the iMac, plus an online server. Plus, I keep duplicates of all my photos and music on both computers. Just in case, I just did a backup of my home…
“I’m thinking about kick-starting the home server project again.”
“Why?”
“I was thinking I’d serve up the web site and blog from home again.”
“Why?”
“Money’s a little tight and it’s another place we could save a little money.”
“Why?”
“What are you, two years old?”
“How much money would…
Cheryl’s been making a lot of noise about our Verizon contract, and the ten months* left on it. She’s been making even more noise about the iPhone, and how she’d like one.
Damn woman! Can’t you see my fiscal restraint is hanging by a thread?
There’s real trouble on the horizon too: we’re about to walk out the door – to go to the International Plaza in…
Remember this post? Tell me friends, where was your intervention when I needed it? You might say the sea of evidence – the little thing we call “common knowledge” – makes a personal warning redundant, but remember who you’re dealing with.
During an 18 hour stretch this weekend I:
1. Did a clean installation of Windows.
2. Had it crash.
3. Searched through (way too…
Here’s something you might not expect me to say: “I’m thinking about picking up a copy of Windows.”
I know, it’s crazy talk. Why would I pollute a perfectly good Mac with XP, or (shudder) Vista? Cheryl keeps asking me the same thing, and I don’t have a good answer for any of you. Maybe it’s just because I can. Maybe it’s because I want to experience…
There was a moment this evening when I wanted to get down on my hands and knees and beg. I was ready to pay any penalty to get out of our current contract. I was ready to see if I could find any takers on eBay for my mint TAM. I was ready to do anything my wife wanted, for the opportunity to replace my Palm TX with an iPhone. Sure, the iPhone would replace my cell phone and iPod too, but they…
I saw the funniest alert when I launched an application on my Mac this evening. It was telling me that a new version of the software was available.
No, that’s not the part that was funny. It seemed like I’d just clicked the “remind me later” button, when I noticed one of the bug fixes:
Fix a bug that caused “remind me later” software updates to appear too…
