Hey guys, sorry for not posting in a while, it’s just that I’m currently on vacation now. I was in London from the 28th to theis past Saturday, and I’m currently in Rome and will stay here until Friday, and then I’ll be in Italy’s Amalfi Coast until the 17th. London was great but I’ve already been there before, but Rome is just amazing, especially me being the history buff I am. More on my vacation to come later.
As for WWDC, which I hope most of you have been following, I have a bunch of things to say:
Mac Pro - Awesome, great that Apple finally breaks 3GHz, but way out of my price range.
Xserve - Coll wuith Intel, but server products are of no interest to me.
Leopard - Soooooooooooooooooo cool. Number one favorite features: Time Machine (similar to Windoze XP’s System Restore, love Time Machine’s interface), Mail 3.0 (Notes and RSS), Spaces (liek Virtual Desktops on Linux and a program tahyt does Virtual Desktop for OS X), and new iChat (screen sharing and cool backgrounds).
