A few minutes ago I purchased Path Finder 4.7.2. for OS X. I evaluated it. I don’t like that it seems so slow to load (and thus slows my login process) and I had a little trouble with it conflicting with The Missing Sync (once) but it’s just can’t-live-without-it-ware. In Windows, I can’t live without Directory Opus. In OSX, I can’t live without Path Finder.
MacBook Pro
On Thursday, 19 July 2007, I found a buyer for my Dell 17″ XP Pro notebook and immediately purchased its replacement, a 15.4″ 2.16GHz 1GB Core 2 Duo 120GB OS X 10.4.10 Tiger notebook. Overnight shipping so I could start setting it up that following Sunday.
So far, so good. Parallels Desktop 3.0 runs great.
Ordered another 1GB of RAM (Crucial DDR2-5300 (667MHz)) from NewEgg right away. It arrived today and I installed it without a hitch.
The keyboard layout ( keys not next to spacebar, for example) is a hassle. But XP runs fast in Parallels.
MacBook Pro
Found a buyer for my 17″ Dell Inspiron 9300 notebook yesterday. Ordered its replacement, a 15.4″ 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo 120GB 1GB glossy screen MacBook Pro. I need to get hopping setting it up ASAP so I ordered it for overnight delivery today, Friday.
