Gabbs’ Random Thoughts

Went down to Medford today, and bought my first piece of art from a friend of mine, Juleen Jones.

I’ll post a picture of it when I take one….

looks  like my mind  feels sometimes

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?
