iWant an iBook.

iBlog. You most certainly do. (Note to blogpopuli visitors: The blogroots-intended content was the link to iBlog. All that follows is my own personal rambling.)

I’m about 90% certain that before this year is out, I will have traded in my Dell laptop for an iBook. The school uses Mac, OSX looks like a dream come true, these Windows security problems are getting on my nerves, and like, dude, Steven totally convinced me.

My only reservations so far are (1) the lack of a MacOS driver for the Pencam, and (2) Zeldman’s OS X Blues. I’m hoping that both issues are resolved by the time I make the commitment.

    I am sick of the windows security problems also. It seems I need to download something every week

    My only reservations are money related. Takes a fair bit of cash to make the switch & I’ve already got too much invested in my PC equipment.

    Have you checked ioxperts lately? Your pencam is supported!

    I recently moved to OSX myself after trading in my old powerbook g3 for an ibook. I’m liking it. And thanks to your link to Macam, my Logitech webcam that previously didn’t work under OS9 now works under OSX!

    And don’t forget you can run Virtual PC on Mac OS X. While not an insignificant cost, you’ll have one powerful laptop that runs all the major operating systems. What’s great about VPC is that you can backup the entire virtual disk image to a CD or DVD. If your install becomes infected with a virus or is otherwise corrupted, you simply toss the bad image and restore from the backup. Try doing that with your PC hardware!

    Welcome to the fold! You’re gonna love it. I just upgraded to OS 10.2 and it is great. Switch baby, switch.
