I got my new computer. Yay! I'll be spending the next few hours using the Tiger update CD that came with it, installing all the crap I need, moving over my data, and configuring it the way my old machine was set up. This wasn't typed on it; I think the wireless here isn't set up to accept connections from arbitrary machines. I'll work that out once lediva gets home.

Yay!

Oh, and here's a link to some of the most amazingly curmudgeonely reviews of Mac tools I've ever seen. Especially in the "Very Ugly" category, where the most horrible sins one can commit in design are (a) putting a friendly face on something that can be accomplished via the UNIX shell, because everyone should just learn UNIX and love it!, and (b) having .DS_Store files inside the application's bundle. OH NO.

Oh, of course it has a wired connection. It's even got a modem built in, for when I go back to 1983. I'll try plugging it in physically in a little while. Thanks!
