MacIntel

I am still recovering from the announcement that Apple made about switching to Intel chips. I think the move is riskier than people are saying. I know for myself I will be holding off my hardware purchases until a well established MacIntel machine is ready. I think that Steve Jobs needs to explain better how he will be supporting exisiting PowerPC users after the switch.

New Powerbooks

Apple released some new Powerbooks the other day. They modestly increased the speed, sped up the hardrive, has a fall arrest system, and a new lighted keyboard. For now, I am happy with the Powerbook G4 I have. But I will be waiting for the G5 laptop.

Airport Extreme

I have just finished setting up a small home network using an Airport Extreme Base Station. I have my PC (with Satellite Internet) connected to the WLAN port on the Airport Extreme Base Station. From there it beams out to my PowerPC G5 and my Powerbook G4. It seems to work pretty good. I can even share Itunes between the two Mac computers which is nice.

I am also working on a webpage with Macromedia Contribute 3. We will see how it goes.
