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
