Hope you enjoy your new PC, bud.

Well I can now attribute several of the smaller odd problems I was having with the old PowerBook to the bad HD. None of the same issues have cropped up with this unit.
The transition is going well, and aside for Office, I’ve yet to find an application that I “miss” from my PC. I’ll have to get a copy of Office eventually, but with all of the bundled apps on the Mac, it’s not a pressing issue.
I am somewhat curious as to why they include the entire iLife suite, several high-end outlining and project management apps, but not a copy of AppleWorks (which is bundled on the iBook). I suppose they think that anyone with a PowerBook is in the more “professional” market and is going to buy a copy of Office eventually?
But honestly, TextEdit is nearly all I need for basic stuff. It can be a bit clunky at times, and there are some really sweet features on the new Mac Office that I’m eager to try out.
I just learned that Johnny Ramone died yesterday afternoon. Five years fighting prostate cancer. Only 55.
All the greats.
