Still dual booting too, largely because until I get myself a decent ethernet modem, my penguin world won't be online. I'm hoping to gradually spend more and more time in Ubuntu, until I reach the stage where I just use XP for those things I have to use it for. For example, I haven't found anything yet to use to record Skype calls in Linux that's anywhere near as easy as Hotrecorder. It would be interesting to near what apps you are using in Ubuntu to perform the usual tasks - maybe a comparison of how they perform next to their Windows predecessors would be a cool post to make!

It booted as 640x480 but the dialogue boxes are taller than 480. I had to ALT-F7 to move the window for every dialogue. I'm having driver issues so am really glad I am dual booting right now :O) Full update when it is fixed! So far so … umm …. install was a pain.

The prices of iMacs aren't that bad, unless you're comparing to a DIY kit PC. But, the kits don't include those gorgeous displays... dude, with the amount of photos you’re taking, you really need Aperture.

I'm still stuck in M$ land and will be for years to come, but every now and then I fancy blowing away a windows instal and trying Ubuntu. P.S. I've added your feed to <a href="http://syndicated.livejournal.com/chrisgblog/" rel="nofollow">livejournal</a> (where all the ex-atvrder hang) so I can read you easier. Let me know how it goes.
