This is my first post to outskirts from my new iMac. I’m sitting on the couch with my wireless keyboard and mouse. The iMac is about five feet away. I’m so disconnected from the beast. Feels neat. I haven’t even tried the remote control yet. I have the brightness of the screen set to minimum - the screen really cranks out the light, so on a bright day this thing is still sweet. The screen is SO big. So nice.
First steps…install mysql and php for local development. In the process download some basic freeware apps that are needed. I’m keeping a few notes
This weekend I’ll really have time to play with and see what it can do.




PHP… when you gonna give Ruby on Rails a try?
I’ll wait for 10.5 when it is built in, unless there is an easy way to install that won’t ruin my current setup. This thing looks good:

Okay - I must be living in a cave - what is thr ruby on rails - locomotive???
’splain it to me lucy?
I’m not actually sure, but it is a hip thing in web development right now.
Thanks - I haven’t a clue - this is first I have heard of it. Are you having a blast with you new baby iMac? Hope so. I am waiting for Leopard - should not be long since we now have 10.4.8 -
