Pat’s Point of View

Step 2 of my move to the dark side is now complete. I have a brand spankin’ new MacBook to replace our dodgey old PC laptop.

The core duo chip is so quick, makes the Mini looks slow…which I guess it is. I love the built-in iSight camera, and have already started scanning everything into Delicious Library.

I’m loving iLife ’06 too, some small but great enhancements over 05. And I’m starting to use Automator too, using it to synch files and email between my laptop and desktop.

The third and final step will be to decomission the PC laptop, but I’ll have to get Bootcamp up and running before I can do that. She’s served us well, travelling all around the world stuffed into backpacks and suitcases, but is well past her replacement date. Not a bad laptop (Acer TravelMate 360 — 1GHz Pentium 3 512MB RAM) for travelling since it’s light and has good connectivity such as Firewire and WiFi which weren’t common 5 years ago.
