As some of you may have heard, Snow Leopard was released a week and a half ago. I pre-ordered my copy from Apple, but didn’t get round to upgrading until the following Monday. First impressions were great: faster boot up, sleep and shutdown times, Time Machine backed up quicker, and the extra 7GB back on my HDD was also welcome.
Then I checked my local development environment. Screwed!

After much bullying encouragement from a mate of mine, I’ve decided to finally take the step into the Mac world and pick myself up a 15″ 2.4GHz MacBook Pro.
Got to say man, I’ve enjoyed my time on it so far and I haven’t even installed good old Photoshop yet or done any proper coding. Also, lovin’ some of the stuff you can do with the Trackpad and can’t wait to get playing with TextMate. But first things first, how do I reprogram that hash key..?
More updates as I muddle on through.

The standard “journalism” rule is that three is trend. So here’s one with the new MacBooks: They’ve got problems! Screwy video cards, insomniatic, power-sucking sleep and not playing well with other RAM.
