well, i admit that the first few times using OS X Leopard (on a hackintoshed pc or the macbook air) was kind of frustrating originally.
being a windows poweruser/geek, i have become accustomed to installshield guides and registry hacking to get my settings and programs running. Â however with OS X, installing applications is almost too easy. Â just open and drag the app to the Applications folder. Â wait? thats all?
yes, simplicity can be a beautiful thing. Â this simplicity is shown throughout the whole operating system and applications. in this part 2 i will detail my personal experiences with OS X and the software side of things. again, this is probably a pretty boring read for any OS X hardcore users or power users.Â

Ultraportable/Netbook Orgy: Macbook Air, MSI Wind, Sony Vaio P (photos)
well, at work i'm kind of the netbook guru so in turn i get my hands on the demo units we get. today, my boss stopped by and handed me a nice fun gift to play with this weekend: a sony vaio p (usa version, 1.3ghz cpu and 60gb pata drive, gps, wifi, wlan, webcam)
so far its an amazing piece of hardware and so tiny!
anywho, i hope to post a full review next week after i get a chance to take it for a full spin. until then, i thought i'd tease you with a few comparison pictures w/my macbook air and msi wind. :P

Air, OSX and Me: Re-introductions (part 1)
well, up to now i've yet to really use OS X Leopard (yes, i know OS TEN, hehe) on true mac hardware (closest was my G5 and G4 towers i previously had).
however, Q was looking to upgrade to the this year's revision of the air and in turn sell his rev A, macbook air. Â me being the sucker and gadget whore i am took him up on his offer and in turn have now converted to using my air as my main on-the-go laptop.
and well... os x leopard and mac hardware are a pretty good pair. i take that back, an amazing duo! and yes, the kool-aid tastes pretty sweet.  keep reading for the first gulp and video of me opening up my air.
