| Two computers in one | |

 As usual, this post is coming to you from my trusty MacBook, but this time I'm posting via Windows XP! Having a Mac that can use either Mac OS X or Windows XP is both weird and convenient at the same time. Since I will probably only need to use Windows once a week or so (just to keep track of my bills and things), I'm using Apple's Boot Camp software, since I don't really need both operating systems at the same time (and Boot Camp is free!). The installation was pretty painless - it's cool how it partitions the drive and actually kicks off Windows Setup (though it feels like the Twilight Zone when you see your Mac display that Windows logo!). Once the Windows installation is done, you have to install the Mac drivers for everything (which fixes the screen resolution, gets wireless networking going, and even does nice things like enabling two-finger clicks for Windows right-clicking), and that's it! Once I get rid of my old PC, I'll be down to only two computers, which feels just right.
