No, not the boat. Boot times. I am reconfiguring my office’s WiFi setup, to try to get OS X clients to be able to correctly network over wireless. While that sonds like it should be easy, especially since OS X filesharing now prefers TCP/IP, it is kindof a bitch. And I haven’t cared much about it until now, since I have enough time to fuck around with it.
Anyway, my office is currently filled with laptops, so that I can reconfigure them to work with the new setup. I have a Sony Vaio S380, A IBM ThinkPad T30, a Compaq Evo N115, and a PowerBook G4. I had to reboot the PowerBook and the Compaq at the same time, and surprisingly, the PowerBook because usable first. Strange, no? Since Macs always seem to take FOREVER to boot?
The Compaq is mine, XP SP2, Athlon 4 1.8GHz. 512MB RAM. BootVis optimized regularly.
The PowerBook, also mine, OS X 10.3.8, G4 667Mhz, 1GB RAM. WAY slower than the Athlon. But it boots first. I just can hardly believe it. I’m going to defrag and run BootVis over lunchtime to see if I can get XP to get there first.
I know that the Vaio would beat the Powerbook, it’s brand new and has nothing installed.

It’s funny that you comment on your own posts. DAF or something?

it’s kinda like you talking to yourself within your posts. I wasn’t really DAF as Tired AF, but I did have a couple of beers. I worked pretty much all day yesterday, from 8am til about 11pm.
