And as ever – my notes:
Review – CrossOver (http://myapplestuff.com/crossover-mac-60/). I really like this product, for its ease of use and financial perspective. BUT I still stand by my view that you are better off with a cheap stripped down Windows PC
Apple – Following on from our discussion last week I had a wry smile on my face when I heard about the WWDC07 moving to June ( http://myapplestuff.com/apple-world-wide-developer-conference-2007-slated-for-june/). I was surprised to see that Apple was one of the top Brands ( http://myapplestuff.com/apple-brand-is-world-leader/) despite its obvious success it is hard to think that across the World it is that strong?
MyAppleStuff – a relatively quite week as I am trying not to get too involved in the iPhone debate that seems to be going on, and on, and on. I took the opportunity to upgrade to WordPress 2.1 which went fine despite 3 Power Cuts when I was upgrading one of the blogs that I host! Wayne has posted the second episode of his experiences in blogging and podcasting and I am working on a mini series related to photography. Wayne continues to share his experiences with us.
Projects – Well everything has arrived, but I have a few issues to resolve (http://myapplestuff.com/arrived-today/) so it is still going to be a while before I am up and running!
And finally – I got a couple of great pictures in from Mac in Canada (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ourcoolmacpics/ ) who makes my spending last year look like nothing!! He even bought his young child an iBook at Christmas just to play some games on!
