Yay! powerbook.
May. 10th, 2003 10:55 pmI have a new 12" powerbook. I am liking it much more than I expected. I'm surprised at how much better looking MacOS X still is than Windows. There's just something less... crude about the whole look. And the screen, of course - so sharp. I love it.
I'm typing this entry in via the HTML Update Journal window on Livejournal directly, but I think I'll be looking for the OS X local LJ client soon. I've found that TinyFugue is available for OS X (it being, well, NetBSD-similar); apparently it compiles straight out of the tarball. W00t!
I mean, I expected to like it well enough, that's why I bought it, but I'm enjoying having a proper shell much more than I expected - not just tcsh (love love love love tcsh!) but the MacOS graphic shell, too. (Plus: you can download X11! Yay!)
Oh, and Safari doesn't suck either. (That's what I'm using here! Hee. ^_^ ) That's the new browser. It's good. It has several of the things Opera has that I like in Opera 7, which is good since Opera 7 isn't available for the Mac yet.
I'm playing with the email client some tonight too. So far, so good. I've fiddled some with the scheduler - I love that it will send you email as a reminder - and am working my way through the other preinstalled software. I need a general-purpose IM client - something like Trillian for the PC, but that runs under MacOS - and to port all my bookmarks over. Oh, and I think I'll set up the mail client to talk to some of my email accounts, too. You know, because I can. ^_^
We've also tested the networking stuff - Windows networking shares come up perfectly. I guess I'll have to get printer sharing unb0rken on my desktop computer, so I can test that, too.
Did I mention that it's just really, really pretty?
(And yes, I've seen bitch.mpg, so you don't need to reply with that as your comment. ^_^)
Anyway. More playing. It's fun. Plus, it's my first real laptop. So yay! ^_^
