powerbook++
Well, Around 11AM Fedex came through and delivered the PowerBook. Chris Winters had left a comment earlier about his only coming with 1 CD, which made me nervous, since I need the developer tools to do my job. So when I opened up the box, sure enough, there was only 1 CD. First thing I did was call Apple, because I would have hopped the ferry to Seattle to visit an Apple Store. After talking to the support rep, I was a bit embarrassed. You see, that CD is is a DVD. For machines that have the right drives, Apple is doing the right thing and shipping 1 DVD instead of a pile of media. I'm in the middle of repaving the machine, so maybe the next post will be from OS X.

Ah, that makes sense. After reading your post I actually went back and looked -- sure enough, it's a DVD with everything on it. I'd thought it was some sort of emergency repair CD instead of something capable of a full install. All the blogtalk about Panther Disc 3 this and that threw me :-)
That said, the dev tools in my install were in /Applications/Installers/Developer Tools/ The only thing I needed to download was X11, altho I guess I could have got it off the DVD if I paid attention.

From our home on Tuesday night..... Abigail exclaimed "You got a new computer?! A laptop?!" as Ted carried his new Powerbook across the house. Our family time last night was spent admiring the new machine, all five of us sitting...
