new ibooks, and new software
I saw there are new g4 iBooks today, to which I say "hooray" but also "too bad no speed increase". And please, Apple, could you put more than just the LOWEST speed in the 12" ones? Please? The whole point in my having an iBook was that it needed to be small. Oh, I guess that's why you made 12" powerbooks. Now what's the difference? I still cant get it configured the way I want it.
But, I still think I want one. We'll see how long I can hold out. So far, I'm doing pretty well with my 500MHz G3 12" combo-drive late-2001 iBook. I wonder what Panther will be like.
At work, I have a 500MHz P3 as my desktop as my primary machine. It's running WinXP Pro with 384MB ram and dual monitors. If I had more space, I would add a third. I find it VERY handy. So handy in fact that I want to do a dual-headed system at home.
I found a couple useful tools that I wanted to bookmark for later:
Stress Tools for IIS
IIS Export - for migration

No doubt. I would *love* a dual-monitor system. I'm real particular, though -- I want two identical monitors. I don't want a regular Apple 17" with my iMac FP display. Or a laptop monitor/desktop monitor combo. Or, even worse, an LCD/CRT combo. Yuck.
Next year, I'll probably get a G5 system -- and at that point, I'll likely break the bank and get a 23" cinema or two 17" displays. Whichever is more cost-effective. Here at the station we have 23" HD cinema and 17" standard Apple displays side-by-side, and although not exactly identical, it makes for a schweeeet setup.

I have been thinking about this for some time. I will likely always keep a small crt of some sort in my "dream" system, simply because of color issues in printing. Not that I do any high-end printing where calibration is an issue...
