Y’all

Yesterday I ordered my first Apple Computer since the Mac SE. I would have gone  iMac except my new PC is monstrous enough to do  the heavy lifting I occasionally need. The plan is to run the mini in parallel with my PC using synergy. Needless to say, I am excited.

    Thank you. I’ve spent too much money already, but for once in my life I wanted a real computer the way I want it, not a few coconuts stitched together with twine.

    Huzzah!

    Now you’ve got your Mac, you should check out Scrivener – best writing software I’ve ever used.

    I wish someone could tell me why I dealt a death blow to my lovely MacBook Pro.

    No. Don’t. Please don’t.

    And I know how.

    I don’t want to pursue why.

    And to think: I had just made the switch.

    Synergy is awesome. I use it across 4 screens on 2 macbooks and a windows laptop. Amazing that I can copy from the far left and paste into the far right.

    Computing perfection.
