Yep, I've installed it as the main OS on many machines. I usually keep a small partition that is running MacOS, but not always, and even on those machines that have the partition many of them will spend years never getting booted into the MacOS. I a machine installed out in Florida that's a Mac running Windows 7. I don't think it's seen the MacOS since I put it in at least two years ago.

Poor thing feels like a twin separated at birth.

I found the Lenovo IdeaPad I want in the nice gunmetal grey on Amazon (via Circuit City, who I guess has gone online-only now), so I'm going to finally get around to dumping my bag of change into Coinstar and see how big of an Amazon gift certificate I can get out of it. I am looking forward to the RapidBoot and OneKey Theatre business, and I hope I wasn't imagining the fact that I ended up liking the keyboard and numpad after a few minutes of thinking they were cramped. I don't know, I would probably like the Toshiba Satellite too.

Maybe it's not the right decision, but it's not the wrong decision!

Grr. Yahoo has finally released an official Flickr app, and it's not compatible with my tablet. Yeah, because organising and uploading pics from my phone is so much more practical.

I'm on my 4th Toshiba laptop. Except for the last one, which died just before its 5th anniversary, I had them all for 5+ years. I don't know how Toshiba service is because I've never had to contact them.

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad I'm liking so far. I customized it to make sure it had one 4GB SODIMM instead of 2 2GB ones to ease upgrading to 8GB. I also spent $50 more to get the largest battery which gives me about 9 hours of use the way I use it with mostly Word Processing and Internet use.

Anyhow, it might be worth taking a look at buying from Lenovo directly if you are wanting to get a Lenovo. I found the price competitive, they had free shipping, and I could make those little customizations.

I ended up buying mine from Amazon.

I know I'm months late on this, but I just upgraded to Firefox 7 and aaaah everything is bizarre and I miss the status bar and what is even going on and is it actually SLOWER than before or am I imagining it what the hell.

Oh, add-on bar. That's nice.

I can't get finder to connect to network shares. At first I thought it was networking, but I can ssh over to the host, and I restarted samba on the linux box, but no dice. It also won't connect via finder to my NAS, although the Time Machine backups seem to be working fine.

It just keeps saying Connecting and nothing happens when I click on the "Connect As" button. I even deleted my credentials in order to force it to reauthenticate. No dice.

So I figure it's the Mac, but I can't work out what else to do. Help!

Do any of the moblie browsers have the evernote clippy thingie extension?

Nobody has any suggestions for my SMB problems? I can't even get it to force me to reauthenticate. Even when I use the menu and Go to the server, it just spins and nothing ever happens.
