About this time of the year, I wonder about all the conferences I'm going to go to and all the talk I'm going to give. Then I do a little research and if I'm tempted, I go out a buy the latest, smallest, most powerful laptop. On Saturday, I got myself roo (all my laptops are named after Winnie the Pooh characters: pooh (doorstop material, IBM Thinkpad) tigger (Dell), piglet (HP Omnibook 500), and now roo (ibook)). This is my first Apple computer and it's all fine so far. I've spent the day abusing work bandwidth and downloading OS updates, fink, and well, more UNIXy things. I'm mostly happy with the fact that I got Office with it, and I'll be using Powerpoint to produce the slides this year. I finally got annoyed at magicpoint. roo's not the speediest of things though - hopefully the upcoming new version of OSX will solve that. Now I need a cool sticker to distinguish it from the other thousands of ibooks at TPC...
Just don't say "YES" when it complains about the Office Assistant not being installed properly.winex POWERPNT.EXE
