Tiger Talk

If you saw Angela’s post from Friday night, then you probably figured out that we did get the upgrade to Tiger installed on her eMac, and you probably know how much fun she was having with Dashboard widgets. It was a pretty painless upgrade, and once she went to bed Friday night, I spent a couple of hours playing around with it myself. The fact that her machine now sees the Windows workgroup, shows me what shares there are to connect to on the file server, and mounts those shares as drives once I authenticate with the server, blew me away. Huge step forward for incorporating Apple OS X machines into a small office SOHO network effortlessly. It’s always been possible with some expertise and work, but this could be done by anyone in no time at all. Nice…

I’m sure I’ll have more to say about Tiger as time goes on…

    So the laptops were all set to roll out today. The guys using the current ones had PS/2 keyboard and/or mice attached to their old ones, and since these new ones don’t have a PS/2 port, I went out yesterday and picked up a couple of Belkin USB Dual PS/2 adapters. The package comes with…

    Looks like we got a few copies of the W32.Gibe virus floating in last night. All of the attachments were stripped at the email gateway (Our ISP finally did something right!), but I was impressed with this one. It seems like most of the attachments disguised as something else have stuff in the email that…
