It's late

But here is a quick update.

My new Mac arrived late on Friday. I have been gradually getting to know the Mac and along the way, install Vista.

That was not very successful... Until I tried to do the boot camp setup on the second of the two disks I ordered from scan.

That worked... very quickly in fact.

So I have one duff disk which is irritating but hey ho, hopefully scan will quickly resolve the problem.

More later.

Mac 2

The beast is ordered and now it is just a matter of waiting. I can understand the build time, but the delivery time is eight whole days. Where do they build the Macs in Europe? So far away?

I have ordered up extra disks and the software updates. I have retained some of the money for one of those OSIDTOT (oh shit I didn't think of that) moments.

I also decided to go for Boot Camping Vista. Now that the EULA permits virtualisation on the home editions, it seems more sense to go with the newer OS.

I also switched to VMWare Fusion - and dropped Parallels - since it seems to be the better product. Thanks to a heads up from a friend, I will be able to better integrate the two operating systems. See. Told you it would get geeky.

Oh but of course. Being a Mac person I am not supposed to be 'technical'. Oops.

Mac Pro... here I come?

All being well, by the end of this week I will have ordered a Mac Pro.

At long last I will be able to make a noise again. I can't wait.

This is also opportunity to update my music applications; this time for the Mac. In all this will be a lot of fun. Not only will I be back on the creative front, but I will have the geeky pleasure of migrating over from XP.

Don't get me wrong though. If I was still very much into PC based development & games I would be very unlikely to switch. But now I can create music and Boot Camp into XP for the odd game, the Mac seems like the best option for me.

I will be updating MyWyrd with my progress so watch this space!
