Dan’s Drivelings

Our house has become completely Mac-based in the last 9 months.

…that I made the choice to convert to the Mac platform so as to avoid having to deal with Vista!

My Mom had to get a new machine this week after the processor on her old one went out.

Well, I’ve been “experiencing” Mac OS 10.5 Leopard for about 48 hours now.

Earlier this summer when someone told me that you could hook two Macs together with a firewire cable, boot one up while holding down the “T” button and access its drive from the other like any other external firewire drive, I never actually thought I’d use it.

Today, while working on one of my daughters’ Macbooks, I screwed up the hostconfig file while trying to edit it with TextEdit (I know, I should have used VI to start with). I should have guessed that TextEdit wouldn’t leave the file without a file extension, but I didn’t.

Apple announced this morning that the new version of OS X (Leopard) will be released on October 26th at 6:00pm.
