I have officially converted. I had my eye on a Mac for about 4 months and finally took the plunge in the last week of December. Partly for the specs and mainly because it runs on FreeBSD. I wish it was a christmas present but unfortunately I had to part with the cash - ouch. MacBook Pro 15″ with Leopard - it’s quick!

I’ve spent the past week prepping/cleaning my data to move it across. Shrinking my Outlook PST file, found this nifty app which converts PST to Mac Mail format. The data was pushed over to my trusty USB drive and then copied across. The conversion has been fairly uneventful with some frantic googling for arb things like “how do i page down” and “where the hell is the delete key”. But (L)AMP is setup now, imported all my db’s and just downloaded Zend Studio for Mac. It’s starting to feel like home, a clean pretty home.

Very cool (new?) venue and had a great time. Highlight was when Art came down to the crowd and was taking photos with peoples cell cameras. He then requested Jackies camera (with his finger, see below) and it was recording video and then as he turned it to the crowd to take a picture, he stopped it heheh Awesome evening and incredible local talent.
