You may have noticed recently at The Tech Juice that my posts have tended to be Mac-centric. This will probably be the case for the majority of the summer, as I am trying out a new set up that allows me to run my Macbook with an external display, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc. It is no new feat to be able to do this, but I thought that it might be a nice experiment to see how I function outside of my primarily Windows / Linux world.

This is not to say I did not really use my Macbook before, rather, I am trying to use ONLY my Macbook.

So far, my biggest pain has been the fact that I purchased the lower end Macbook for several reasons, and it does not come with an internal DVD writer. I have had to ask my suspiciously gorgeous fiancé to perform these tasks for me, so I could keep clean from my PC addiction.

Having said that, my Windows and Linux detox has been going very smooth. I still use Windows XP at work – but for any kind of computer usage beyond my day to day at work, the Macbook is my only friend.

Expect more updates, and a lot more information from the Mac perspective in the coming months. Don’t worry though, XP won’t be left in the dust, but Linux might have to wait awhile before I give her a call.
