     It's a Macintosh kind of day today.
The WWDC is running, and Panther and the G5 are no longer vapor.  (Where's that 15" G5 Powerbook?!)
I have to say that the Mac developer community is where the buzz is.  I was totally bored reading the various Java One blogs this year, but a couple of the blog posts from MacHack just stirred the envy in me.
Eric Albert recounted the increase in Rendezvous usage.  This stuff is very cool.  I don't get why we aren't seeing more activity on Windows and Linux.  Looks like a good opportunity for a small developer.  Oh, wait, Microsoft and open source have exterminated all of those.
James has the most amazing journey.  Somehow he manages to
score a ton of old NeXT hardware.   I was excited by the Lisp Machine that was on eBay last week, except that it had no display or keyboard.  That and the fact that I have nowhere to put something that big.
Sometime today the reality distortion field will wear off.  Till then I'm waffling over whether my next machine is a Mac or not.
