Fun things to do with a Dell Mini

So, I was able to finally start working on my Dell again, after the fiasco of getting it repaired.

Since I had to wait so long to get the replacement, I had plenty of time to research what I wanted to do with the unit.

I have installed Mac OS X 10.5 on it, I have installed a dual-boot with XP, and then reverted it back to just Mac OS X 10.5. It works great. If there were a true Mac Netbook, I would get one, but ever since I contracted an issue with my back, and sciatica, I have to have a light (and small) laptop. Two pounds for a netbook, and the 8.9" screen work just right.

I will update more about my experiences with the install of Mac OS X, and all that I am able to do with the Mini. These last two blog posts were done using Qumana through Leopard (Mac OS X).

Back from the Dead

Yes. I know. I have been gone for a while. Sorry about that. I have been in the process of moving, through the end of December, and then there was the holiday... blah, blah blah.

Anyway, I am back, and can update everyone on the saga of my Dell:

I finally received the replacement Dell unit on 12/17. I booted it up right when I got it, and it works fine. I am still dreading that it may fail some day and I may have to deal with their tech support department again, but so far so good.
