I switched to Mac OSX! but I did it in my own way. I really haven't ever dis-liked OS X since it came out, i just could ever rationalize spending ludicrous amounts of money on shiny plastic. Microsoft's latest operating system totally disgusted me; how that disgrace of programming ever got released to the public is beyond me. I finally started to play around with the OSX86 project, and after an initial success installing it on my media computer, I went ahead and rebuilt my "serious" computer with more OSX86 friendly components. It took a bit more coaxing than the media system, but now that it's all up and running, I am happy not to be running Vista.

So along with OSX, I've also picked up a Wacom Bamboo drawing tablet. It's certainly taking a bit more getting used to than I expected. But it's all good, and I love the pressure sensitive feature of all the tools in PS now. Very cool.

On the camera front- a few months ago I bought a wide angle adaptor for my lens. I like it. I am still feeling out where the cross over is for the lens. I will certainly invest in a proper one at some point in the future- but the adaptor is working just fine at the moment.

thats all for now..
