Hey y'all,

I don't even know if anyone remembers me here, was a looong time since I have been here last time...glad to see Herve's is still around

Hope I meet some people I know from the old days, and of course I hope I meet some new people

To the 99,9% who don't remember/know me: please excuse my english, as it is not my native language!

ulriiiikkkk!!!!

/brings in a pitcher of some fancy German beer

How has life been since you were last here? Since I remember seeing a post of yours, a loooots of cool stuff have happened.

[Trip]

It's like a family reunion. How fun.

[ulrik]

Yeah, was a looong time ago. I'd say AT LEAST 2 years. I have to admit I took an outtime from the recent Macintosh developments since I had many projects on SGI. Allthough I still have my trusty Quicksilver (and my father uses my Powerbook), I haven't even found time to check out 10.3 and 10.4.

Recently, my DVD Player died, and I thought "what the heck, replace it with a MacMini". To my surprise, I got an Intel MacMini (I ordered it the day it was released without even knowing), hooked it up to my plasma, and was blown away by all the new features from 10.3 and 10.4. And since I HATE my NEW PC notebook (Toshiba R60 167), I just sold it and my MacBook Pro should be here within the next two weeks, got a great deal on it since Apple runs some promo-actions on it.

So yes, I am finally back I mainly used SGI machines for work the last two years and a PC notebook for anything else, but when I saw 10.4 on the MacMini, I knew that I HAD to go back. And since I have completed all the projects and the next ones don't limit me to one particular platform, I HAD to go back to those Macs Now I can't wait till the new PowerMacs come out to replace the PC Workstation I am currently using (allthough I have to admit it's a nice one, an Alienware Aurora 7500 SLI).

So, there I am again

BTW: Thanx for that german beer I love it

/dingdingding next round is on me!!!

[Giaguara]

Hm at least it's easier to enjoy the thing from the platform when have seen the comparisons to them

[voice-]

Aawww, Ulkir, you just made me wanna go buy a Mac.

Must. Resist. Temptation. Remember. Apple. Support.

[ulrik]

Why, did you have trouble with Apple Support? What happened?

[delsoljb32]

meh, i need a drink. what an uneventful birthday this was! (Apple's, not mine) I even went against my better judgement and went to the Apple Store to make sure! (In all fairness, I had planned on going this weekend anyway, just happened to be the 1st!)
