Well, thanks largely to weather, Randy & I are stuck in STL for the moment. Our flight on AA was cancelled because AA hates STL for some reason. We’re hoping to get out and are on SouthWest right now.

Yes we are on the plane, but due to traffic, we are sitting at the gate for another 15 minutes. The last two times Randy has been out here, AA has cancelled all flights to Dallas and he had to stay the night. We are hoping we break the trend.

So, I’ve had the weekend (and James’s help to show me some advanced features) to goof around with the new Mac.  I have 4 words for you.

Holy Thor’s Hammer, Batman!

Apple has done QUITE a number on OS-X.  The last Mac I had ran OS9, and this is the first real exposure to OS-X I have had.  Many of us agree at work that we’d rather carry these around than our current laptops.  With the virualization technology (I have not tried this yet), I bet we could be super duper effective.  And this way, we could all work inside the corporate image and hopefully have easy to manage (from the corporate IT perspective) images.  Hell, I bet some of us would carry personal laptops with corporate virtualized images just to have a nicely customized environment to make us efficient.

Now I guess would be time to visit Vista and see how that experience differs.
