My New Computer Setup


My new Mac is a Mini! Got it for $100 off the normal price. I've been needing a new Mac for a while now since my G4 tower is way old and it didn't seem worth upgrading the G4 iBook to Mac OS X Leopard.

Now I can finally start playing with the new Leopard development tools and APIs, which I've been dying to do since I attended the Leopard Tech Talk in Chicago over a year ago.

I also bought one of the new thin Apple keyboards which I really like. The Best Buy near us just opened their mini Apple Store and I picked it up there.

I've installed VMware Fusion along with Windows XP Pro so I can run Windows applications in a window right on the Mac (see below). I'll probably download a Linux virtual machine at some point so I can also mess around with Linux.
