So it's been pointed out that my livejournal interblog is about 75% Mac geekery. This is probably pretty accurate. Sorry

ataxi :-)

So to keep in that vein, let me say w00t, re my MacBook Pro now having a 250GB HDD. Didn't take too long to install, and all went smoothly. I appreciate the changes they made from the Powerbook series for taking the things apart. No nasty clips requiring a dentral probe, no locking FFC connections to break, easy to change SATA plug instead of IDE. It'd be a perfect machine, were it not for the RPC-2 crapped DVD drive. I met a Zebra at WWDC who suggested this might not last long, so I have hope in that.

Let's see.. non mac geeky.. hmm.. I'm over my jetlag (w00t!).. Edit: oops : ~~I decomissioned an OS9 Mail server running on a 1995 vintage PowerMac 7500 (with frenchiephish's help)~~.. I've put an order for our network upgrade kit (mm $40k), and due to the high potential of a staff member coming back, in whom's position my boss is currently in, I'm about to become my boss's boss.

Unrelated, but I just powered on my MBP that I picked up today. Thanks for the sage advice :)

Dang, how do I use this thing..

Haha.. feel free to find me on IM if you want any particular pointers :) Otherwise, the help is pretty good on OSX.

It's all been pretty fantastic so far. Although admitted I have put Parallels on there ;)

Only issue so far that I haven't properly investigated yet is that the XP installation won't join the Windows Domain at work. Probably due to the funky 10.x ip address it got? Ah it's a tomorrow job..

Who's

entro? Sorry. Jeez didn't mean to guilt-trip you anyway :-)

And I did say 75% ...

Region coding on the MacBook Pro DVD drives is easily solved by buying one MacBook Pro for each region code you need to use.

I have one in region 1 and one in region 4. Easy :-)

See, now that's thinking outside the box!

My current one is a Core Duo.. I have been meaning to get a core 2 duo at some point.. :-)

I'll just take this moment to say.... lawl fanboi.
