Upgrading

I just upgraded the computers to OS 10.5 - Leopard. Feels REALLY good. Like getting born again. The Time Machine works great for backup but i had to reformat the external disk. Good way to start the year.

I share you sentiments. I've been rolling on Leopard for a week now. I love it!

Watch out for updates to Quicktime removing functionality from Arkaos (if you use that).

A friend of mine wasn't too happy about what all his upgrades did to it.

Right there with you Andrew...I made the upgrade on a "new to me" iBook G4 about a week ago! So far so good. I finally have my OWN computer, yippie!

Hey Andrew....

Hey Andrew, long time reader....etc.
I am making a switch back to the mac world, I left it in grad school [i know, i know...bad bad boy]. Would you recommend a macbook or macbook pro. I'm a pastor who uses his mac for general computing/blogging/presentation, etc. Should I consider the pro or just the macbook. Asking cause money is an issue.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Peace,
E

Hi Andrew. The problem with Arkaos seems to be if you upgrade to Quicktime 7.3.1 it disables the playing of Flash in Quicktime.

There was quite a bit of talk on some of the Apple discussion forums about it by VJ's who'd upgrade QT around Christmas time and then couldn't do their New Year's gigs with Arkaos.

Of course, YMMV.

eric

dont buy anything until the new model is introduced at Macworld this month

as for macbook vs. macbook pro. i was going for the macbook high end and it wasnt much more for the pro.

the macbook low end with no trimmings is a good buy also

but NOT before Macworld Expo.

Not sure if these guys sell MAC equipment but their combo of technology and holiness seems up your alley ... http://lasermonks.com/
