One Happy Camper
I received the Apple gear today that I ordered a while back. To make a long story really short, my PowerBook is totally futzed. The LCD screen has come unhinged on one side, so I needed to improvise.
I received a 20" cinema display for a birthday a while ago, and it hasn’t worked with my PowerBook for some time. I had a feeling my DVI -> ADC adapter was fried, so I finally went out on a limb and ordered a new one. I figured, worst case, it doesn’t work and I return it. I picked it up today after work — brilliant! It works!
In addition to the screen, I’m also typing this post on a new Apple keyboard. Nothing fancy (my PowerBook is old, so definitely no BlueTooth), but it’s got great keys and is as sexy as hell. Plus, since I love using my 2003 Mac so much, the "-" and "s" keys had both started to go. Sadly, I don’t know if I’ll ever open up the LCD screen again. I love this computer, and when I start making some dough, I’ll be getting a PowerMac, for sure.
It really is a shame that more software / websites are not built for OS X. They truly are fantastic machines, and anyone that has ever owned one will vouch for that, I am sure. Don’t get me wrong, I love my ThinkPad and it’s a workhorse, but there is something so cool and just damn slick about Apple’s stuff. They really do a fantastic job, and I’m proud to be a customer.
This weekend is going to be extremely exciting and I can’t wait for it to start. A buddy of mine and I are going to sit down and start mapping out some business ideas we stumbled on to this week. Obviously, not something I can write about yet, but trust me, it could be very, very cool. We’ve been talking about it constantly, and now it’s a function of figuring out the right one to tackle first. Since he came up with one of them and I came up with the other, we’re pitching the reasons to start one or the other first.
Hell, I just want to sit down and start coding something exciting with my new Mac stuff!
Have a good night, all.

I love my PowerBook and I do recommend it to everyone! I know a lot of people who poke fun at Macs, but some of them are starting to look twice when they see one. I know a couple of guys who have bought Macs even though 6 months ago they were swearing against them!
Keep up the writing!

Yah, the popularity of the iPod has definitely helped Apple — although it will be interesting to see how sustainable their ongoing success is. Digital music can’t carry a computer company in the long-term.
