So long, clunky old Compaq, and hello shiny new (well, Apple refurbished) Mac Mini! How ironic that well over 90% of the time I've spent setting it up has been getting Windows installed and then updated 97 times on VMWare - and that's before I've even migrated any of my data.

(And although I'll probably just install WinUAE under VMWare, what's the best incarnation of UAE for the Mac? Is it MaxUAE?)

I've never had my own Mac before. Looking forward to learning the quirks of OSX that only an owner can discover :)


Here's a fun thing - I'm guessing this is an Intel mac, right?  Y'know that thing that amigans and mac users used to do to show off how "bad" a PC was, by opening task manager, selecting CPU Usage and then whipping the window around and watching the CPU use spike?

Same thing happens on Macs these days ;)

What's next, a locked down OS X where one has to kneel down to Jobs to install software?


Well that's half of what you'll be doing.

:D
