Sorry for the Off Topic (move to where ever if you wish). last night, after a bad day where I got crapped on by my boss, I got an attack (again) of Mac nostalgia bad enough to make me ready to buy a soon to be outdated iBook. I am so ****ing sick of WinXP and the mess that is office and VBA (my job is administering a bunch of WinXP machines and troubleshooting Office problems), that I was dying for some Mac cleanliness. I took a look in the local second hand paper and saw a bargain 667MHz TiPB with 1GB Ram, and was sold, hook, line and sinker.
On Monday I'll be picking up my Mac life again. I haven't been here in the OSX section for a few months now, but it's good to be back.

It's strange, you know. XP is fast on my Dell 1.8GHz laptop and is very stable. But I find that Windows is somehow just such a ****en mess. Millions of bloody dialogs to configure a printer, and for some strange reason people who programme for Windows seem to have no comprehension of the concept of organising all those controls into something that is somewhat more logical than total schizophrenia. Even Microsoft itself has improved here in that the Microsoft Management Console, a kind of container framework for things like services (processes, daemons on X) is nowadays quite logically laid out, and third party applications can use it, such as our fax server. But these are the exception that proves the rule that usually Microsoft Programmers just stuff buttons and controls whereever they see fit.
I'm kind of like a kid again, I'm so happy to be owning a TiPB.

Grazie mille. I spent way too much time in the lounge over the past few months, and owning a TiPB has given me such a damn good feeling.
