Trinity
I installed Mozilla and iJournal on Trinity today, and put up a cute little background wallpaper from Matrix: Reloaded today.
So, I’m updating now from iJournal, and viewing LJ in Mozilla. I uninstalled the lame-o MS Office preview from Trinity, and it’s only a matter of time before I figure out how to get rid of Internet Explorer. Microsoft-free, all the way!
John and I got up early this morning and did some weedwhacking in the backyard until it got hot at 9. After my shower, I got dressed and put on one of my pretty new hats.

You can get rid of IE! Just install Safari instead, and then go to the Internet preference panel and choose it as default web browser.
OmniWeb and iCab are both kind of okay browsers, too.

I like Xjournal over iJournal - the ability to download a local archive of all your journal posts and search them is too cool for me too pass up. ;o)
You can kill most of IE just by dragging ‘Internet Explorer’ from the Applications folder to the Trash. I still keep it around, though, it is, by all accounts, better than its contemporary versions of Win IE, and it was the only browser that I could make access secure sites via a proxy.
Otherwise I use Safari, which is cool and stuff.

IE for Mac is actually not made by Windows, that’s why it is better. It is liscensed from M$, but that’s about it. I can dig around M$’s website for verification if you’d like.

Well, the company name is ‘Microsoft’ rather than ‘Windows’…
IIRC, it’s made by Microsoft’s Macintosh Business Unit. The MBU got new management, or took over stuff, or some such, a few years ago, and MS’ Macintosh applications actually got relatively good.
Mac IE was by far and away the best Mac browser for some time, and while I dislike Office, it’s supposed to be miles better than older versions.
They’ve kind of dropped back a bit with Mac OS X, though.

Sorry, I use them interchangeably.
It’s more likely they took over stuff, although this is news to me. Thanks for the info.

Just gotta question. What made you go Mac over an IBM compatible?

I meant took over stuff internally - some MS Mac products previously weren’t made by the MBU, and were crap.

Ah. I had heard that MS Mac products weren’t made by MS at all. Again, thanks.

As I understand it, the MBU is a kind of semi-autonomous entity inside Microsoft, which is why the Mac OS versions of stuff they make is so different from the Windows versions, and MS Mac products which aren’t made by the MBU are nasty Windows ports.

Yeah, I know about the differences in quality in the software. I guess that’s where my assumption stemmed from (that and a bit of mis-info).

Aplle makes amazing hardware. It makes sense, to me, to have a computer that doesn’t feel like it’s going to break into itty bitty pieces right out of the box.
