So far so good. I’m disappointed with the amount of time it took to ship, it left PA on Thursday afternoon and arived here on Monday at 1PM. I am installing it on my iBook first using the Archive/Install option. I am hoping this will save trouble…more to come.

EDIT: At 1:30 I was staring at Tiger. It worked without a hitch. This is amazing. I went a little farther with the eMac however. I did an arhive/install and it worked fine, but I backed it up first using SuperDuper

Dan Knight over at Low End Mac, says there are some good reasons to have AV on your Mac, but don’t spend too much time/effort on it, just be prepared. A Few Good Reasons to Have Antivirus..

I ditched my maiblocks account today. With the uncertainty of the company since AOL purchased the mail system and the annual price of 24.95, I figured I could do it on my own with my own servers that I am already paying for.

I bought a domain name for cheap and set up another virtual site on my server. I then create aliases using the Ensim Control Panel for things I want as temporary addresses and have created the same setup as mailblocks. I have then setup SpamSieve to grab the nasty stuff on my eMac 1.25GHz using the Apple Mail.app.

So far, I have been mailblocks free for two weeks and I’m not missing a thing. I can access my email using VNC when I am away from the home computer and the junk is going to the Spam folder. I guess I will have to pay for SpamSieve, though (I’m still in the trial period).

This article is from Macmove.com on what former Windows users need to know before they get ready to grab a new Mac-mini. Couldn’t have said it better myself…

I have heard this used before…Mac snobs. It is true we are snobby because our computer can beat up your computer No really. How many times do you hear Windows users saying that they love their PC? Mac users love using their computers over and over again. Myself included. I now use my Mac to work with photos using iPhoto and Photoshop Elements, created a DVD and have made a number of nutty songs on Garage band. All things I wanted to do with my PC, but to no avail.

I just love this computer!!
