I haven’t used a mac of my own since 1998 or so. I think that it was running System 8.05 iirc.

So the new mac laptop seems freaking amazing to me. Here are some items that bowl me over.

• It’s fast to login.
• It’s super fast to switch between users.
• The built-in apps are richer than Windows
• It’s pretty, I forgot how much I missed that.
• The laptop build is amazing.
• Sleep actually works.
• Perl is already installed.
• The dock isn’t butt ugly like the slow start menu.
• Expose is pretty neat.
• It just worked, right out of the box.

Seriously, I have been wrong to be running Windows since the point where a Intel mac laptop was available.

I really hate the old crappy Dell now.

• Sitting down to prosuitto and cheese in view of the leaning tower of Pisa. Simple pleasures … #
• One day in Rome? Trains, taxi, bus and walking. Went to Vatican Museum, Trevi Fountain, Coliseum, St Peters..I propose more dancing tonight. #
• Worked off breakfast by trekking up Vesuvius, on to Pompeii. #
