Put the Mac Aside? January 9, 2005
Posted by Owen in : Work , add a commentJeremy Zawodny nicely summarized my frustration with my Mac when he discussed his reasons for switching back to Windows. It’s true, too. I just don’t feel as productive on my Mac as I do in Windows. Office sucks, browsing the web is slower (I did a side by side comparison, and my PC loads almost everything substantially quicker), lots of apps aren’t as polished on the mac, and so forth. The lack of keyboard accessibility in general on the mac sucks. The only thing I really like in OS X are the Mail.app program and AdiumX. Both of those programs are better than anything I’ve used on a PC.
While Macintoshes are much more elegant and pretty than Windows, there are some areas they could really improve. If 10.4 doesn’t improve upon many of my complaints, I’m going to be very unhappy.
LA River January 9, 2005
Posted by Owen in : Life , add a commentHooboy, the river outside is getting full… I’m almost thinking about moving my car out from the-below-river-level parking garage… another foot and my car will be underwater. I read they had more rain in the past 3 months than they normally get in a year.
