Wow. Fast new computer.
Oddly enough, I'm not typing any faster. And I'm thinking just as slow as ever.

Maybe I better check the manual. Oh yes, it's a Mac, so they assume I can figure it out. Well I'm here, ain't I?!? :D

On the plus side, it's a walk down memory lane as my mail program is retrieving 800 stored emails from the server, representing 2008 thus far.

Good times, good times. Ah, yes. :)

1. I'm getting a new computer soon.
Not a Mac though. (But I might install Mac OS X on there to duial boot, just for fun, haha.)

2. Why stop at dual?
Why not have three or four?

XP, Vista, Mac, and then something stable and free, probably some form of linux or unix. :P

3. A friend of mine has a Vista/OS X/Linux triple boot set up.
I'm just far too lazy.

4. Yeah, me too.
Next computer I get I'll probably just do Vista/XP. And if I decide to further my game development onto a mac platform I'll think about adding a Mac OS.

5. I don't think I'm even going to bother with Vista, but I'll figure that out when the time comes.
I just want OS X so I can play around with it and see what the fuss is about, haha.

6. I'm gonna wait until most of the bugs are out before I even THINK about 'upgrading' to Vista.
Vista is kinda like what Windows 98 was when it first came out. And that didn't stop sucking horrifically until 98SE. So that's kinda what I'm waiting for with Vista. :)

9. I single boot to Ubuntu
Once booted up I can run Win XP as a virtual machine. Works fine, but I don't need Windows very often.

The main reason I bought Windows was to watch NetFlix streaming movies. Then NetFlix started selling the TV box, so I'm covered.

10. Not talking about processors, talking about OS booting.
But I am considering picking up a quad core processor, haha.
