[DUG] to Vista 64bit or not?

[Jeremy North]

Faster doesn't instantly mean better, or more productive.

I've got a blog post stewing at the moment where I will be detailing
my experiences, if I get around to writing it.

XCode is an _interestingly_ architected application.

I love how apple do updates though. 230meg download to fix one iphone
bug. Yay apple. Well done!

Since we are off track now (partly my fault I know), anyone using Time
Capsule with their mac/win network?
