Well, after four years, we’ve finally gotten a vacation. The Florida Gulf coast is a nice place to visit. The soft, white sand, gentle breezes and surprisingly not quite so much traffic as other places I’ve been. But then, maybe I’ve just not really gotten out at the right times of the day yet.

And, the friends with whom we’re staying have an awesome 24″ iMac. I’ve seen them, lusted after them, but never really played with one. But, this is being written on one. So far, I’m impressed. The keyboard is really nice and easy to work with — much more than the Windows counterparts I’ve owned through the years. Of course, it might be that I tend to be rather, shall we say “frugal” in my purchases. Still, I’ve worked on a lot of machines and this is one of the best keyboards I’ve used.

Lest you think me a Mac fanatic, I’m not. I work with virtually every kind of machine out there. And really don’t have a preference. I think my interest in Mac is its versatility. After all, I can use Windows on it if I like. Linux, too, for that matter.

Anyway … I’m gonna just kick back and enjoy the sun and sand and take a few days off from even thinking about work.
