Re: Anyone using a notebook PC?

2003-01-27 by Wayne J. Cosshall

Hi Jerry,

Well, I have to disagree. I'm running OS X on both my desktop (dual G4
450MHz, 2GBytes RAM) and my bronze keyboard Black Powerbook (196MB RAM), for
production work (Word, Photoshop and InDesign, to do the dimagemaker
magazine) and things like Painter and my fractal programs for my art. I love
it. I find it is stable and works very well for me. I now run only a few
programs under classic (Canto Cumulus for example).

The other day I was converting part of the web site for DIMI over to a
database model for the book reviews. My ISP runs Apache and MySQL on heavy
Linux boxes. OS X comes with Apache. I downloaded MySQL, installed it all
and had a working database system in 1/2 hour. I then added my data, setup
my dynamic pages in Dreamweaver and tested it live locally. Uploaded the
database and website to the server and it all worked. You gotta love a Unix
core.

Cheers,

Wayne
