Pure Apple. Signup / switching even, from T*Mobile, was a cinch - a few mins online and done. Instant synching of my Contacts, Calendar, email accounts (SmugMug and Gmail), photos, and music.
So far, so good! I dig the form factor, and the screen quality, and the wireless, and the, and the and the....

It is growing on me. I really like the syncing capabilities.
Can you assign certain ringtones to individuals? I did read you cannot use itunes songs for ringtones.
Do you set all your settings through the phone or can you do it via the iTunes sync interface?
The company I work for has mostly PC's as both desktop and laptops. The other day, there was this giant box on my desk--it came with a plea. "Help me".
It was a MBP for one our our sales reps. Fair enough, the customer he supports buys plenty of our stuff...
Since our internal support guys only support Windows, I installed a copy of Parallels on it and incorporated that into the Active Directory Domain as well as pushed some productivity software using Computer Associate's Software Delivery stuff. From the support folks POV, it's a PC and that's good for them.
The coolest thing was the help desk gal's comment that it "boots faster than a Windows PC"
So if you're wondering if your Parallels install will work in an Active Directory world, it can. And it's so much like a PC that the support team won't even know.

You know of course that the Mac can bind to AD as well, and pass this info through to Parallels if you want.
I have a not so tech savvy Photographer friend who is using Photoshop CS2 on an Intel mac.
He wants to open Canon RAW files directly in CS2. I pointed him to Camera RAW plugin link on adobe website. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3583
He has downloaded it but to him it says that this is for Power PC mac, and not intel mac.
Is a version available for Intel MAC somewhere?

CS2 is not a Universal Binary, meaning that it must run under emulation on an Intel Mac. It will run, just a bit slower. To get native speed, he must upgrade to CS3.

Hmm. So I guess the 3.7 plugin will work out of the box.
They are running CS2 because its a "Graphics shop" and they bought a corporate group license for the entire Adobe creative suite. So if they upgrade to CS3 they will go bankrupt. Adobe is charging too much for it!
So they will stick to CS2 till then.
I have asked him to install the mac plugin in his CS2 folder the way the instructions say and then try opening a canon Raw file in CS2.
DoctorIT has taken me to the mac shop here. That 24" 2.16 GHz iMac is a sweet machine alright. He has also infiltrated my house with 2 mac laptops....i dont know where to turn.
In another post in Finishing School I talk about my missing presets (specifically duotones, but gradients, etc. are impacted). I found them
in the CS3 folder Application -> Presets ->Duotones.
The bigger issue is my ignorance of how OSX and/or CS3 stores/loads those presets by default. Once I went upstream in the directory structure when I tried to load an .ado while in PS CS3, I found that I was in Users->jdryan3->library->Application Support->Adobe->Abobe Photoshop CS3->Presets->Duotones by default. And all those preset folders are empty.
I understand the concept of user files vs common files from my PC, but my question is do other folks move the presets to their user files? Or maybe store their custom settings in the main CS3 folders? And if I want to just use the main preset folders for everything, how do I get CS3 to use those as the defaults? I saved a custom duotone in the main folder, but when I reopen CS3, I'm back in those user folders.

And a great widget for lappies.

Fixes a weakness in the Mac that shouldn't exist, IMHO. Winders machines do this better.

Just not in native code.
CS3 is faster, on PowerPC Macs and Intel Macs.

I don't know what they'll have, but I know what I need.
A 24" Cinema Display with RGB LED backlighting, HDCP, and built-in KVM capability, for $600.
(A man can dream, can't he?)
But if I can't have that, I'll take a full-featured 12" widescreen subnotebook instead...
