Angry Mac User Speaks Out This post is a forward from several different blogs but will get you to a pretty funny look at Mac problems. As someone who used Wintels for many years then decided to give the Mac a try, I sympathize. I can relate to the disappearing software. With windows, at least you get a error message - blahblahblah.exe cause a fatal exception blahblahblah. On the Mac, the software will sometimes simply disappear. All you can do is say to yourself "OK, I guess we're not doing that anymore" Click on the word "hillarious" [sic] to go directly to the parody site. Also, feel free to visit the Sexy Magick web log - that's where I found this post. I can't say anything about Adam Curry's web log (also a link - its where sexy magick found the post) I don't know who Adam Curry is - but - a lot of people subscribe to that blog. __________ windows rules!. This is why Windows rules!! This is hillarious.. crash different. I love my Mac so much that I'm happy to share this hillarious anti-mac clip.

OpenOffice for the Mac will have to wait.
This article is from MacCentral. I have downloaded the Open Office and X11 windows interface to see how this works. Will give and update on that at some time in the future. OpenOffice is a OpenSource project. It is an "Office" suite of software available for free. The idea would seem to me to be a good alternative for those who could not shell out the major bucks for a commercial "office" type suite. It is currently up and running for Wintel machines, Mac users must run it with X11, which is also free. _____ Mac OS X-native OpenOffice delayed until 2006. If you've been awaiting a Mac OS X-native version of OpenOffice, be patient: the estimated time of arrival has been pushed back to the first quarter of 2006. OpenOffice is an open-source version of what was once StarOffice, Sun's application suite. OpenOffice runs on Mac OS X systems now, but requires an X11 windowing interface to work, like Apple's own X11 for Mac OS X. Some users are waiting for a Mac OS X-native version of the productivity software suite, instead. [MacCentral] 2:32:44 PM  comment []

Userland Blogging made fun
Here is an interesting link for users of Userland. Be careful, though, some of the fun little icons are links to stories you may not want to have on your blog. On the other hand, you may want the story!!!
Found something interesting today, userland global shortcuts. I always wondered how they got the little sidesmiley face to show up at the end of posts, if you type this ";->" then this shows up ";->" now why didn't this work? hmmm.. [SexyMagick] 4:28:44 PM comment []

Open Office
How about some free software. If you are in need of a office style suite of software, like Word, and Excel, but, don't want to spend the major bucks, then you may be interested in OpenOffice. Click Here to goto the OpenOffice. It is completely free and offers a Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Draw and Presentation program. I know it is ready for the Wintel machines, not sure if it is ready for the Mac OS X. Somebody give it a try and let me know. Also, is this answering the question, What Happened to WordStar?

Mac G5 Performance Information In case you didn't know, Apple has a new G5 computer. It is a 64 bit processor. Currently both Apples and Wintels use 32 bit processors. Don't get too excited, although NASA has tested it and found it to be a little faster than the Pentium 4 3GHz the true power of such a processor won't be found until there is 64 bit software. The new Panther version of Mac OS X is NOT going to be a 64 bit OS. Panther will implement a few features of 64 bit processing to get the ball rolling for software developers. This is a link to a story from Mac Central
G5 looks to be 'efficient and speedy'. The Power PC G5's power consumption "looks to be about three-fourths that of a P4 when clocked for comparable performance," Technology Editor Peter Coffee writes in an eWeek article. "... the G5's efficiency and speed may quickly spread its use from Apple's top tier throughout the rest of its line and may also make Apple a top-tier option for even the most performance-conscious users," he writes in the story, which looks at 64-bit computer processing.
