Been using the macbook now for nearly two weeks and slowly i’m getting everything setup how I want it to be which is half the battle. I’m finding though that I spend more time using the mouse than the keyboard which is annoying but not nearly as annoying as……..mail.app marking all your emails as read as soon as you click on them with no way of stopping this or even putting a delay in like so many other mail clients.
This on it’s own I suppose isn’t a major headache - well it is, but, if you delete an email or move it to another folder, mail.app will then select your next email and obviously mark it as read. This has caused me a bit of pain at first as you don’t expect it and happily just click your way through preview enabled emails.
I’ve submitted a feedback form via http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html lets see if they take notice!

Wrote up a quick how-to on my site about using VPN on the ASUS eee.
VPN setup
I still need to get some icons done for the desktop, but for now, this is what I have.

I have a 4G version on it’s way to me for tomorrow. Can’t wait to have a play and see what all the hype is about. I’ll post my comments/thoughts up when I have tested it for a bit.

Ryan asked what the desktop is like so here we go:

A friend over on his blog recently posted about his love, err, hate of windows Vista.
Now me, I quite like it actually, it looks funky, runs perfectly fine on my lappy and hasn’t crashed once since I installed it. It’s a welcome addition and upgrade to XP which has been the next best OS that MS have produced since Windows 3.11 and 95.
Now I know that you can get other OS’ (free ones as well) to provide the same features as Vista but that involves either, messing around - which I really can’t be bothered to do or Linux (still messing around IMHO) however it is not my type of OS for desktop use yet. I use it on a day to day basis at work as a server OS and it’s brilliant, but spend time trying to get some software working because it may have compatibilty issues is not my idea of computing.
For what I use it for - it rocks, I wouldn’t install anything else and it just works for me.

Only taken 3 days to get here, considering i got quoted 8th november for delivery then that’s not bad going. So far everything seems good with it. I have removed about twenty bits of software installed by dell as i was never going to use the likes of aol as a service provider. It’s a bit big but considring it’s a desktop replacement then i don’t mind that. Gotta love the screen though, 1920×1200 is just the shizzle and being able to run two windows side by side at a decent size is ace. Laptop’s ftw
