I now have a Mac.
Technically, a MacBook Pro. I'm still trying to figure it out. Apple seems to do everything differently from Microsoft. I hope, in time, this will prove to be "better," not just "different." Thus far, everything is on a normal learning curve (meaning, I can't figure it out immediately, but fiddling works, and I've only had to retreat to the help menus a couple of times).
Further updates as warranted.

Posted by: binky at May 31, 2007 08:35 PM | PERMALINKMostly I've been working my butt off for a couple of new clients. Google my real name plus the word "fool" and you'll see some of my stuff.
Posted by: jacflash at June 1, 2007 08:57 AM | PERMALINKWow, I knew you were a fool, but not a published one.
Happy 40th. I'll hit mine in about seven months. I think 37 meant more to me than 40, but we'll see.
Are you making a living being a "fool", or is this a sidelight?
Posted by: baltar at June 1, 2007 10:51 AM | PERMALINKI love you too, dude. :-P
I could be making a living at it (they pay fairly well, and so far they've been happy to buy everything I've submitted) but I'm trying not to get too dependent on one client. It's more than a sidelight, though. I just signed a contract to provide them with a ton of articles over the summer. We'll see how that goes.
Posted by: jacflash at June 1, 2007 12:32 PM | PERMALINKok, the curiosity is killing this cat. hey jac, if you show me your real identity i'll show you mine. find me through any of the conspirators (it's your obvious real-world friendship with at least some of them that would make me comfortable coming clean) or through my blog if you're so inclined.
Posted by: moon at June 1, 2007 01:55 PM | PERMALINKMoon, Baltar or Binky can clue you in. (It's really not that exciting, but you're welcome to look.)
