Classes have started, blah, blah, blah. I *really* want
one of
these (running
LinuxPPC, of course).
I watched
Apache *and*
Open Source software. I wasn't
particularly impressed with MacOS X (or MacOS 10), just 'cause
Linux does everything (except for
WebObjects) just as good, if not better, than MacOS X. It is nice to see
a microkernel succeed though. That means two industry leaders, both
Apple and
IBM, are now officially supporting
Open Source software as a part of their Internet strategies. The
Microsoft Macintosh software
rep was pretty funny. He spent a lot of time introducing features in
the new IE45 for Mac that have been available in other browsers
for a while -- although there were a few cool features.
In case you hadn't noticed, this is the first time in several years that
I've actually been *really* excited about Apple technology. Anyways,
mail goes
here.
