Its Here, what a great 29th of April!
I got my OS X Tiger today. What a great OS. If I ever need to replace our home desktop it will be with a Mac for sure now. Everything is great with the same two big exceptions. Mail doesn't support Hotmail (but who but Microsoft can?) so I'm really trying to depend more on gmail but you only have to forget to uncheck the "allow us to share your email" box one time and "you've got spam!". And Safari doesn't do in-bar searches with anything other than google. Firefox still has them beat there.
Get with the program Safari, and one up them with in-bar logon for sites. But both of these problems (hotmail and inbar searches) are in both OS X and Windows. You still need firefox for in-bar searching and a Microsoft mail program for Hotmail.
My External HDD wasn't working so I got a new drive and a new enclosure. Now I have 2 external 250gig HDD. I am wondering what I should do with the second one, sale it or keep it. (I put the new hard drive in the old enclosure and the old hard drive in the new enclosure. Since the old enclosure with the new hard drive didn't work It seems I will have to return the old enclosure.)
I now have a Tivo to sell as well. Maybe I should have taken the drive out of that, could have saved a few bucks. It is a 220 hour Tivo. I recently had to replace the HDDs so it is in good shape. I was sick of having to pay for the service every month when comcast charges less and I can record two shows at once. With only 40 hours I have to only pick my favorite shows, but I could stand to watch a bit less TV anyway.
Tivo is the greatest DVR (Digital Video Recorder) however it is EVIL. Why ? because you have to pay the monthly fee or they make you TIVO not work. I would understand that with comcast where you DONT have to buy the DVR just pay for the service. But if you don't pay TiVo you should be able to use it like a VCR without the fancy extras. But NOOOO they have to make it so you cant to crap! So, Anyone want to by my Tivo?
More than anything I want to see Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe. Douglas Adams is the funniest. Anyways, Darby Conley(Get Fuzzy) says it best.
be sure to check out the trailer. Now that this film is done, we have to wait till December 9th for the next big Disney Movie (Lion Witch and the Wardrobe). To bad they didn't recognize "The Nightmare Before Christmas" as great when it was released, they may not have lost "The Corpse Bride" to WB if they had. And with "Cars" coming in 2006 we might not get "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" till 2007 (the horror). I just hope they finnalize a date for it soon and have it arive in 2006.
See you at the movies :)
