Meet my baby...

I picked him up today. And I love him. And he's called Johnny, after the master of country and my alltime hero Johnny Cash.
I know, the pic isn't great, it was taken with my pda (had to get a good excuse to try that too). And this is my first post on Johnny. For some reason I can't get Safari to use Blogger properly, so I've downloaded Firefox, which handles it perfectly.
So far my first impressions are:
* great keyboard
* great screen
* although I'm finding that I have to get used to Tiger Mac OS, I like it better than XP. It's more intuitive and somehow feels more like it's there to help instead of getting in my way.
* Widgets: I *LOVE* 'em! You see, Tiger has a feature which is called Dashboard, which lets you store mini-programs. I've set my settings so that I can access Dashboard by going to the right upper and lower corner of the screen, and my favourite widgets are: Stickies, Bloglines Notifier, Wikipedia, Google Maps, BBC News, Calculator, Sunlit Earth. There's also a Backpackit widget, but I haven't got that functioning yet (if there's anyone out there using it succesfully please drop me a line).
* He's very quiet even when the fan's on!
I've downloaded a version of OpenOffice to try out (although I'll probably spring for the Office 2004 for Student at a later stage), the main advantage that I've been able to discover is the ability to save documents as .pdf files.

Sorry for this being such a techie post, sometimes I just get so carried away!
To end on a completely silly-useless-fact-note: have a look at this article on Yahoo, which says that the average woman spends $31000 on shoes during her lifetime.
