Ramblings of a Programmer

Part of my order from the Apple Store arrived today!  My wife just
called me and asked “Did this thing get shipped in multiple
pieces?”  Uhh… what does she mean by “thing”? 

So, I have three options.  I can either sit and look at the
display until next Wednesday when my Power Mac is supposed to arrive,
or I can go out and find a VGA to DVI converter so that I can use my PC
with the display over the weekend, or I can borrow the video card that
a co-worker has unused at his house which has DVI out.

Ding!  Ding!  Yep… I have a side trip to make after work today. 

Tiger was just released last Friday.  That is one week out since
Apple let loose its widely hyped operating system. 
AppleInsider.com is reporting that an update to OS X Tiger might be
headed our way in May.  According to reports, the update will
address stability and reliability issues with a wide range of
components of the Tiger operating system.

Forthcoming Mac OS X 10.4.1 Update addresses Tiger issues

Bill Palmer has posted a very interesting article about his views on
Tiger and how the Mac OS X operating system has integrated helper
applications over the years.
