Macworld is coming!

I had always wanted a Mac.

Having worked for a few years with OS/2, and then having to move to a Windows world once OS/2 Warp was withdrawn from the market, I felt that I wanted more from my OS than what Windows offered. When the Mac Mini's were announced three years ago, I thought it was a great opportunity to finally own a Mac. I wasn't disappointed, and I haven't looked back.

Since then, I started following the crazy "Macverse", and was captivated by the sheer passion and enthusiasm of the Mac users. Shortly afterwards I even moved off my Sony mp3 walkman and bought my first ipod.

One of the things that has always fascinated me about the Apple world is the yearly Macworld event every January. This year, Macworld starts on Monday, January 14th. There is a good article in CNET that describes why is it so good. As always, there is a lot of excitement about Steve Jobs' keynote speech on Tuesday.

I am hoping for the announcement of some updates to the MacBooks. I been holding up on buying a new one, initially because I was waiting for Leopard, but now because it seems that there might be a complete overhaul to the line. Roll on Tuesday, and here is hoping that they will announce a new version of the legendary Apple Newton!

Radiohead, Radiohead, Radiohead

I finally received my In Rainbows discbox on the post a couple of days ago. I guess it took longer than expected because of the post delay over the holiday season. Although I had listened to "In Rainbows" in full, I was waiting for the 2nd CD. The current issue of Mojo Magazine (Issue 171, February 2008) has a really good review of the Extras CD. I do hope that it gets a general release somewhat. It would be a same for it to be distributed through torrent sites more widely than through the group.

Its brilliant! Try o get it

I also got tickets to see them in Malahide Castle later in the summer. I have never seen them live, and I can't wait!
