OK, So I installed Mac OS 10.4 Tiger the other day. It's been two days now. I'm not all that impressed. The way I normally do searches for stuff on my own computer is by name anyway, so Spotlight really has not impressed me. I could have done without it. Dashboard = eye candy. Sure it looks cool, but how useful is it really? I found one really useful widget. It's called Marquee and gives you your local movie times in what looks just like a theater marquee! OK, so I like that one. You can do the same thing with ol' Sherlock, but it's really slow and a pain to use these days. Apple has let it fall by the wayside. Hoops and I still haven't been able to get Brewster online to try out iChat AV 3.0 the multi-video chat so I can't comment about that. Overall I'd say the system seems slower than Panther. So all in all, worth the $129 upgrade? For a few widgets? Nah... I would have rather simply paid around $29 for iChat 3 to try it out and kept Panther instead. I'd say anyone who wants the eye candy go for it, other than that, stick with Panther.

I never thought I would see the day. My brother Rick, a Wintel man through and through for as long as I have known him, bought a Mac today! I guess there truly is a first time for everything!

Welcome to my new home page. After paying 99 bones to Apple for three years, I had enough. I'm doing it myself! I am using the same program we created Animation Meat in. It's called Rapidweaver and it rules!

I think the site is coming along pretty good.
