The Syncing Apple

Archive & Install is da bomb. Everything just works so far. I only have to upgrade VPN Tracker it seems. At this point I have no gripes, and I like the new mail (it seems way faster to me), but I should have just deleted all my existing email and let IMAP re-sync… instead Mail.app began to import my old mail indexes….

Also, iChat may be using Jabber, which is very, very cool, but the interface SUCKS. The sorting is dumb, and it has no concept of Jabber groups.

Which would you rather look at all day?

I hope you are using AdiumX for your messaging needs on the Mac. But wait– now that iChat does jabber natively, perhaps it is a worth a look, once I get Tiger. But back to the matter at hand– namely AdiumX. How are you alerted via sound regarding changes in status? Might I suggest you need the Napoleon Dynamite soundset now.

Don’t be a friggin idiot Kip!

Sweet.

So I still don’t have Tiger. Having fought so hard to keep my 10.3.9 machine working with firewire and usb, I’m actually able to resist the lure of a new Mac OS X operating system. I know it will make me angry. I’ve been hearing bad things about the new Mail.app. Which I rely on.

Also the fact that I no longer have access to the wonderfully lower prices at the University of Pennsylvania computer store. Sigh. It’s $70 there, as compared to what, like $150 from Apple? And all I need is a Penn Card. I may wait till 10.4.1, or I may end up running across a copy. File this away for that time.

To gripes about the price:

1. Apple is making tons now– why not a free upgrade?

2. Failing that, .Mac users should get Tiger for $50. Apple is not getting $150 (or the lame $94 that Amazon is offering)
