Gabbs’ Random Thoughts

You know…this is the first time I upgrade my MacBook Pro’s OS.  I ran 10.4 for about a year.  Never had any problems with it.  I was cautious regarding the OS upgrade, as in the Windows world, for years now….you’ve had to back up, then test all you applications, then figure out how to make things work, THEN maybe you could get back to work.

With the new OS, I just popped in the DVD, did the upgrade, and voila!  it all worked freakin great!  not a single issue yet!  been 2 hours, just launching my e-mail, and testing everything, but I’ll be damned that I can’t find a thing wrong.

My cynicism comes from me working with Windows 3.11, Win95 (version a, b and c), Win98 (first & second editions), WinME (for the brief 30 minutes I had it installed), Win2000 (all versions and all SPs), WinXP (gotta give kudos….XP was stable and had no REAL issues), and Windows Vista (who cares what version….it didn’t make it to the 30 minute mark for me) for the last 12 years.  I’m all set with Windows.So….for those of you looking for advice on upgrades….I’d do it.

I’ve heard that there is one application out there causing issues, but I didn’t have any issues with the upgrade.

Convert, damn you! convert!

amazing how an OS upgrade is kind of NOT a real big deal.  Given…had my backups prior to the upgrade, but don’t all geeks? 

I remember hearing about this. I live in the Boston area, so I remember hearing about how bad traffic was that day (I was traveling to San Diego that week).

I would have been stuck in the traffic nightmare this sign created! In honor of that glorious day, someone (don’t know who) took the time to honor the wonderful bright stars of boston (mayor, police chief, bomb squad, adult swim, 2 dudes who looked cool and were getting paid to put up advertisements then sent to court to address SOME made up charge about something but did alright cause Comedy Central I heard helped ‘em out with lawyer fees), and someone who noticed a new sign advertising a TV show about 2 weeks after it was put up.

anyway…here’s the JPG I found online. Kudos to the guy who made it!
