Apple

A little over a year ago I left the Windows world and bought a Powerbook. I got the same machine for my wife and for my daughter a mac mini. This was before the intel world and so, in order to run quickbooks seamlessly I also got a little VAIO notebook (I have been using SONY laptops for the past 5 years or so after using Thinkpads forever). We also got the assortment of iPods. I should say here that I was a lucky dog when Marco sold Verdisoft to Yahoo and I was able to do this - its kind of a once in every ten years kind of thing. Anyway, my point is that now everybody in the house is doing something creative on their machines. Making movies, watching movies, playing songs, shooting video and editing -- you name it. Microsoft can't come close and I don't think ever will be able to (even with more money than God). And I spend a lot of time cussing out the little VAIO because of the clunky WIndows environment. Vista? How many gigs is it? Can't wait for it to be released and start blowing up machines.....

YouTube video - easier than Ourmedia?

This is a test to see if YouTube is easier than Ourmedia ..... Yes, it is a lot easier, but you get all of the YouTube interface and advertising and stuff. Still, it is so fast that I think I prefer it to OurMedia. Click on the picture to run the video of Pacific beach at the foot of Chalcedony Street. J
