Nope, I've been using FF's ability to bookmark RSS feeds in browser and reading them that way. I've never used a RSS reader before.

not for nothing, but I really really love google reader. if you use chrome, it is pretty seamless to bookmark and import feeds to google reader.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I used Chrome at first, but for some reason it hasn't made me happy like Firefox does. Live bookmarks are one of the best things about Firefox - Google Reader doesn't come close. I used to use Opera a lot when IE was the only real alternative, but I haven't had a look at it recently. I'll remind myself.

I am looking at the MBP and I would love to know your impressions of the machine after you get it. I can't get one till around Labor Day...
Well, I ordered a mid-2010 refurbished model rather than the newest one with their strange new port (Thunderbolt, I think it's called).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yes.

Embarrassing question that I think I know the answer to: the new laptop has 802.11n wireless; my current router is 5 years old (almost certainly it's 802.11b). Sooooo...it would slow me down unnecessarily to use the new laptop with the ancient router, right? I should get a zippy new router?
I'm assuming the answer to all of the above is yes, but I wanted to double-check.
Also: IT HAS NOT SHIPPED YET, OH THE PAIN.

Depends on the speed of your connection between internet and router. If that is slow a fast router does nothing. Also I find slow connections painful but many don't mind them. Wont slow email noticeably. Will slow video and gaming and probably music. I notice with browsing many dont. I'm pretty impatient.

Is there a way to check it?
