The Zen of a Fresh Machine...

Being semi-savvy in technical areas, I've managed  to keep my original setup migrated all the way from 2003 - and that can mean a lot of baggage.

I used Leopard as an excuse to refresh EVERYTHING... down to the iTunes star rankings.  Time to unlearn bad habits, and break out of the top 100 songs from years ago back when I had eight CDs in iTunes, and so they're so hopelessly skewed in my favorites that there will never be new ones.  

And, it's... liberating.  Of course, you need your documents, email, and other business riff raff.  However, getting freedom is wonderful.

And, the Intel platform blows the doors off the PowerPC.  Had the pleasure of retiring them to file servers this weekend.
