First entry with a Mac!

I think I sound like a Mac evangelist.

But Mac is really neat, elegant and simple to use (after some getting used to).
One recent feature I just found out was the ease with which I can change keyboard language input settings. I can switch to german just by clicking the german flag on the menu bar, chinese by clicking the china flag, thai, thai flag etc. The best part is that I don't even have to install Chinese software or german, thai software, it's bundled. I can even type tamil, man.

My 1.83GHz macbook doesn't lag a lot compared to my 2.4GHz WinXP desktop, I can open 5 or 6 applications simultaneously and I don't expect a hanging catastrophe. 10, 20 browsers don't hang the system as well. I can zoom out and expose all the windows and watch them work in realtime (like 5 browsers playing movies simultaneously). If I have the money, maybe I can plug in 1 GB RAM for my PC to do a fair comparison.

Anyway, I'm enjoying School, lots of friends to make, lots of things to learn. Ah, learning is one of the greatest joy on Earth! Right now my favourite subjects are Biochemistry, German and Satellite remote sensing. Especially German, I don't seem to be ever late for German classes. Haha.

All is fun before the exams. I wonder what my CAP and future would be like. Such a daunting thought.


Tschuess!
