I grew up on windows since ‘78 and purchased a macbook in ‘07, I have some negative comments on Windows but I will admit that Win7 is the best Windows creation yet (IMO of course) I can’t say anything bad about Mac, most “crashes” (btw the word CRASH is used by people that don’t know how to operate a computer properly, (a word which has a broad numbers of definitions in the computing world) are without a doubt 99% operator’s error! I don’t have any problem with “crashes” A computer “tries” to do what the operator asks it too and when it’s not possible, it’s referred to as “crashed” I use the Macbook for all my important files because it’s absolutely stable and internet browsing because it’s virtually virus/spyware proof, if your house is on fire which computer will you grab on your way out the door? I’ll grab the Mac. The only rational reason I still use Windows is and don’t do a complete Mac swap-over is that I have more then 10k$ worth of Windows software and without a doubt some great ones for sure. I’m not going to bash Bill’s creation but if I wasn’t able too afford a Mac along with not knowing how to properly use it; I’d probably be bashing Mac as well. (Not really) I refuse and try not to act childish over senseless issues.

I read your old article on The Apple Blog about Git tools on OS X. I’m developing one myself that just got put up as a beta. I’d like it if you could try it out and let me know what you think.

You can download the beta at http://www.doomstick.com/blog/projects/repowatch/ as well as getting some basic usage instructions.

Thanks!

Ummmm…. YES It is possible with Windows 7, I have 7, and all you do is drag and drop, and its there. Windows 7 will ALWAYS be better than Apple’s OSX Leopard. And you can say “Well Vista was a crap os, why will 7 be any different?” Whoever does say that, I agree with you that Vista was crap, but 7 is he best os out there today. Just read these 2 articles about upgrading and Apples made up reasons why Macs are better than PCs:

Unfortunately Apple do not allow photos to be replaced by 3rd party software, all they allow for 3rd party devs is to save a copy in the Camera Roll.

I think your best bet it to add a comment on the The Apple Blog retro article for now. If I ever do an updated retro collection I’ll remember SnakeDOS

I’ve read the retro and multiplayer games articles you’ve written. I dunno if you ever played nibbles.bas on MS-DOS, but I ported it to iPhone and the app is called Snake DOS. It’s pretty retro with a DOS-like UI and has p2p over bluetooth.

I’d be happy to provide you some promo codes if it looks interesting to you. here’s some links..

I was getting so frustrated with doing ALT-Left Arrow while typing in a text area in IE and having the browser navigate back in history. This has saved me from that frustration.
