Arriving three days early, the iBook is here! Very compact (12-inch model); I’ll be having to get used to a 1024×768 resoulution–I’ve not worked on a screen with this resolution in quite a long while.

Needless to say, it’s a beautiful piece of hardware. the shell on the outside is like my iPod–so i fear it’ll get scratched easily. I dig the design of the AC adapter extension. Apple got design game tight.

I dig the feel of the keyboard–very easy to get used to. I’m having some trouble getting used to a single button mouse, however–there’s no right click to bring up a submenu. I think i’m going to have to spend some time looking at this little manual that came with the iBook–this is quite a bit different for me to navigate around.

I’m installing all sorts of stuff on it now–trying to figure out how to properly do it–i think i figured out this whole “dmg” thing. thing is, there seems to be so much inconsistency on installing apps. some are in folders, some you just drag & drop, some have installers.

When i figure out how to customize my dock (with my preferred apps) i’ll be in business.

More later.
