My only disappointment was that my Logitech headset could not be used for voice recognition (not that I would actually use it for that). Phone numbers, iCal to sync the appointments and configured it to be a modem for the machine (GPRS is available through modem scripts that can be found on the web – they DO work). When I asked about my phone he immediately asked for it and within 5 minutes had it paired with the machine, setup iSync to sync the address book The new Powerbooks already have the transceiver installed, but did it work? He promptly picked up a PALM T3 and demonstrated iSync.
#PUT THINGS ON MY PASSPORT FOR MAC WITHOUT USING AS TIME MACINE BLUETOOTH#
After allowing the salesperson to do his thing, I inquired about Bluetooth device support. A beautiful specimen of industrial design. It was nice to be able to walk in and actually allow the salesperson help me make a decision, as the staff in this store are always eager to educate the uninitiated on the Apple product line.īecause of my size requirements I was specifically interested in the new 12” aluminum Powerbook. While it is nice to have a 15” display and a full-sized keyboard, I did not want to have to carry a bulky machine in my travels.īeing a design nut I have always been magnetically drawn to the Apple store in the local mall. I have a Sony T616, a PALM T3 and a Logitech Bluetooth headset that I really wanted to be able to use with my system, but have always had difficulty with my company issued wintel laptop (a Sony SRX99P). Currently my complaints surround Bluetooth hardware and support in Windows. I want all of the latest toys, but have been disappointed in the past with equipment that does not meet my expectations. When it comes to being a geek, I am completely a hardware guy. I know I am going to get flamed for this last line, but when you have 5 minutes to logon to a wifi hotspot to get your mail in between flights you don’t want to have to troubleshoot iwconfig or your VPN. I have tried linux on laptops in the past, but have never been happy with the stability of the hardware support. Since I run linux (SuSE 9.0 AMD64) at home I was interested in OSX because of it’s BSD roots. I just needed a small, reliable system that worked.īeing an ubergeek I have always admired Apple’s physical design, but have avoided Macs in the past due to the operating system. Recently I was in the mood for a new laptop, but have been underwhelmed with the selection of wintel machines available and overwhelmed with the number of security patches for XP.
