Early impressions of my iBook

by antonh — last modified 07-Sep-06 11:48 AM

Well, I've had a 12" iBook for about a month now, and I've enjoyed it greatly. There are a few things which annoy me a little bit, but for the most part I must say that I am sold on my new toy.

Best points

Expose
Battery life
UNIX on tap :)
Instant on/off

Stumbling blocks

Trying to get fink working through an authenticating proxy (use wget not curl)
Trying to get my mail out of Outlook and into Mail.app
Limited support for Mono - still don't know if I'll be able to develop ASP.NET websites on my Mac :(

Things that suck

That I didn't get a chance to inspect the machine before I bought it because ...
When I got it home, I immediately noticed one permanently blue pixel. According to Apple, that's just my bad luck.
I can't login to this website when using Safari. Says there is a problem with cookies. Since I can log in to zopezen.org and plone.org (which this site is built on), I can't really work out why :(
No native OpenOffice
