Heh, off-topic. But, I’m still not convinced myself to stop using my Ubuntu/Vista/XP solution… ---

@Theros, what I just did on a mac with uploading that image would have taken me 5 mins on a PC and only took 30 seconds on a mac. The workflow is just so much better simply because of how integrated everything is. ---

Email Alaan. It’s probably just a small bug he can fix. **Edit** : Err, nevermind. I misread your post. Use emacs from the command-line. 😃 ---

The workflow is just so much better simply because of how integrated everything is. Not to disprove your point. I agree with how the OSX overall is much better in terms of integration. But, how can uploading one image take 5 minutes? I power up my FTP program in maybe 5 seconds, upload in another 5… How did that take 5 minutes? ---

I think he meant to take the screenshot, crop the image, convert it to a decent format, upload, and then get the URI in the clipboard to paste in here. ---

@Jeff Wheeler Exactly what I meant. Also I just got my windows mobile smart phone syncing with my mac, and iCal is simply amazing. I plan to install iWork later on today to try it out. ---

Hey, even the windows users hate dreamweaver. :lol: I can’t wait till Windows 7, as its like what leopard is for OSX, just a huge extention of what is already there (still have till 2010). ---
