legalmooseFirst, which one of these LJ clients do y'all recommend for Mac OSX? 'Cause homey is not going to play with typing all this mess into the web site each time.
I've gotten the iBook set up, most of my mail accounts are set up now (I think I remembered them all...), and I managed to find the iBook on the network via my PC so I am copying my iTunes music over as we speak. I suspect, given the glacially slow progress of the status bar on the copying (it's gone up about 3 tics in not quite 2 hours of copying - eeck!) that the copying will take all night. Fun. At least it can be doing that while I sleep.
Got my phone's address book transferred over via Bluetooth. Am so looking forward to having one master Address book and not a different one for each device. Yes I'll have 10,000,000 addresses in my phone, but that's what the lookup feature is for.
Still getting used to little things like CTRL+arrow key going to the end of the row, not the end of the word (alt/option+arrow key does that). Overall a smooth transition. Once the music is copied I think I'll hold off on the other stuff like photos and the like until I have more time to play on the machine tomorrow. Going to get a copy of The Missing Sync so I can get the Palm info integrated into the native OS X applications rather than the Palm desktop, and I think I can bring my Pocket Quicken over with me to the Mac. We'll see tomorrow how and if that works.
In the meantime, I think it's bed time. Night!
