The Mac arrived today and I am a bit giddy. Sadly, I am also very anal and will not be happy until it is configured to my liking. Everything is moving along smoothly with the exception of Radio Userland. I reinstalled on the new computer and struggled getting logged in. I finally have, only to discover that all of my preferences are stored on my local computer. That includes appearance meaning that I will have to build everything from scratch. Hopefully they have some kind of easy work-around to save me the trouble… The other strange thing with Radio is that Mozilla normally allows the WYSIWYG editor to work (no other browsers offer this in Mac OS X), alas it doesn’t work on the new laptop. Probably just a security setting I need to tweak.
I have not yet tried transferring many apps, just downloaded the easy ones. We’ll see how it goes when the major transfers take place this evening. I have played around in iLife ‘04 a bit and it is very cool. Managed to whip out a GarageBand tune in five minutes. It’s almost too easy. I’ll need to bust out the camcorder and play with iMovie and iDVD this evening.
The biggest differences that I have noticed between the two powerbooks (my other is a TiBook 550) aside form the size (new: 12″ old: 15″) is that the keyboard on the new one seems slicker, meaning that I hit neighboring keys far too often. The screen is much brighter though! I keep trying to crank up the brightness on the TiBook only to find it is maxed out. I also like the USB, FireWire, Power, etc. being on the side better than the back.
