My last laptop, the Dell Latitude, only ever had a 40gig HDD, and that was fine. My new macbook has a 60. Great I'll be able to do video editing and everything.......... WRONG.. It's always annoyed me that I've never had much space on the machine. So tonight I get out the Maths books and have a look how much storage is used up by the MacOS.

I firstly looked in the "Library Folder" - this was 12.5 gig
I looked in the "System Folder" - this was 1.5gig

That's already 14 GIG!!!!!!

I look on my current Windows XP machine that I've had running for over a year, and the C:\Windows folder is only 4GIG. That has all my drivers and everything from a year!

That's  pretty crappy to have 14gig lost automatically on system..

55gig available
- 14 gig for system
41 gig available
- 5 gig for programs
36 gig available
- 3 gig pics
33 gig available
- 3 music
30 gig avilable

What a waste... I need to go buy an external drive already..

After being a dell user for along time, and now a macbook owner, there is one thing that dell has over the macbook. Comfort. Using the latitude was comfy.. the front of the machine ,where your palms rest is rounded and soft. On the Macbook it is 90 degrees and sharp..

Using my Latitude  D600 today got my thinking about that, and yes, its so much nicer that the sharp macbook! Think about that mac!

The more and more I use my new macbook - I think, dang, why didn't I do this along time ago! Everything just works on it. There is actually a song, and the lyrics are pretty close to  acurate;

whenever I want, to plug in a peripheral
it recognizes it right away
I don't have to sweat, and pray for a small miracle
it's just great for me
I'm as happy as can be
and I have better productivity

I love my Mac
cuz its so dependable, so sensible so beautiful
oh it's the only one for me

there's never a need, to think about security, trojan horses and viruses
they don't stand a chance, they are such a rarity
it's just working fine
I have such peace of mind
and there's a bond of a special kind

I love my Mac
cuz it's so dependable, so sensible so beautiful
oh it's the only one for me

iPods, Macdraw, Appletalk, Powerbooks
iTunes, Quicktime, Final Cut, Appleworks
iMacs, Panther, Firewire, USB iMovie iChat and iDvd
but the greatest one for me
it's been the answer to my dreams
it's the best app in the land
the funnest program ever known to man
why, Garage Band

I love my Mac
cuz it's so dependable, so sensible, so beautiful
oh it's the only one for me
