So I’ve reverted back to Windows XP running off another drive, and I’m only using the PC as backup (and occasional gaming) — I’m 100% Mac now. If only I could get TweetDeck to behave, I’ll be set!

While I was complaining on Twitter (what will I tweet about now, by the way?), I got a pitch from litl on the benefits of getting rid of the HD. Folks, appliance computing is here, and guess what? It’s not as scary a place as I thought it’d be. While I’d lament not being able to pop open a terminal window and crank away on the command line, how often do I ACTUALLY do that? The last .bat or shell script I wrote was 4 years ago.

While I don’t think I’ll embrace the litl (I do like the design though), I’m a little less scared about the cloud each day.
