MacBook Poo
Speaking of Windows, after BootCamp was released, Steve convinced me to get (at a
discount at least) a MacBook Pro. So I did. For running OS X it's pretty good, but
as a Windows XP laptop it really kinda sucks. There's a few driver issues that need
fixing (no backlit keyboard in windows, sound always goes out speakers, using the
built in camera causes BSoD, etc), but the big hardware issue is that the Mac
keyboard is lacking keys. Specifically: insert and backspace(delete). I did find
some good 3rd party utility that does help a lot allows all sorts of
remapping, and enabled the mac's FN key. And finally, the thing gets HOT. I guess
that's to be expected with 2x 2ghz cores, but still. I got spoiled by my little
Sony's 1ghz P-M that runs nice and cool (and granted, slow).
Oh yes, and southpark this week was SO awesome.
