Ive installed MacOS X on my notebook!

Im a very lazy person... I like to procrastinate...more like I like to do nothing, and then hate the fact that im doing nothing LOL. Blogging is just an example of this.

Anyway...I just want to say that ive successfully installed leopard (MacOSX 10.5.5 for those of you who dont know) on my notebook. In fact im writing this post fromOSX. I was lucky...it was a straightforward process, and someone had written up a tutorial for hardware not so different from mine.

So whats my take on the all famous macintosh? I dont think much of it to be honest. years of windows has made me comfortable with a particular way of using the computer. A way thats somewhat alian to mac.

I find it to be a very 'mousy' OS lacking even the simplest of keyboard conviniences such as home, end and DELETE!! Yes the snobs at apple pride themselves in not including a delete key for mac's...a fact which irks me as its a favorite key of mine (im thinking back to my early days of the 386 when my aunt used to scare me...NEVER TOUCH THE DELETE KEY!! she used to thunder lol...)

Anyway, it does have its perks...I quite like the convinience of spaces and of courset heres the clean and simple (un)installation of applications by simply dragging or removing the file (yes usualy one file! - or a contained folder to be more accurate) to the applications folder. Yup its really as simple that! Though the lack of customisability of application location installation (or perhaps my lack of knowhow) is something that concerns  me. I suppose most macs just have a single partition, so its not really an issue i guess...

Anyway, OSX is just my current 'experiment' or 'toy' and I still use windows for a lot of things. 6 months down the line when I get bored of mac, id probably remove it and install solaris or something... a statement that would absolutely mortify mac-heads and even linux fanatics. That I would choose to stick with windows, and simply play around with other operating systems as I fancy...
