Mac OS X or Windows? |

Some very die hard Mac fans were upset when Apple announced BootCamp. They claimed Apple may end up killing Mac OS and become a pure hardware company like Dell or Sony.
I have been using my MacBook Pro for a few weeks now and I am please to report that most of time time on the computer was spent on the Mac OS X rather than Windows. Most of my tasks can be done within Mac OS X and iLife is certainly brilliant and the six applications in iLife are so integrated that there are currently no counterpart for Windows.
Well, I only boot to Windows if I need to use Visual Studio or check a few website with Internet Explorer and I guess those Mac fans who thought BootCamp is the beginning of the end for Mac OS were quite incorrect. In fact without BootCamp I won't even purchase a MacBook Pro!

The CETADL team had organised a Go-Karting afternoon on the 25th April. We were booked on the Racing Club's outdoor circuit with Go-Karts running up to 50 mph.
The photo below showed us fully kitted and ready to go.

Something interesting happened to the MacBook Pro. It actually runs cooler in XP than in Mac OS X!
I have also installed 3DMark06 to test whether the MacBook Pro will burn or not under full CPU load and so far the Mac haven't had a temperature related crashed.

Got my Apple MacBook Pro yesterday to replace my Toshiba Portege M200 which will be returned to CETADL next week.
Successfully installed Windows XP, Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft Office via Bootcamp. While Apple provided the majority of the drivers for the MacBook Pro, they did not provide drivers for the built-in iSight camera, Front Row remote and right mouse button mapping on Windows. Nonetheless the computer is very usable under Mac OS X and Windows.

Blueyonder had completed the free upgrade to my home broadband. Downstream was increased to 10 Mbps from 2 Mpbs while stream was increased to 384 kbps from 256 kbps.
These upgrades are free so I don't pay extra for the upgraded speeds.

As reported a few days ago I have moved my entire websites to the new data centre. On 30th March I got an email from my former Web Host stating that they will cease all operations on 1st April.
I am not surprise with all the problems they had with the servers in the past few months. Good job that I have already moved! Otherwise you won't see me here.
