i watch a few different video podcasts… i usually burn or sync to my creative zen vision…

decided to try and do both on my new macbook pro… usually it means converting from one format to another.

i couldn’t do it out of the box :/

decided that wasn’t a big deal i would just evaluate some mac shareware. i could convert ok, but the dvd creation software i used wouldn’t erase a dvd-rw disk. said it needed 2048meg of ram free on disk to do it.

my solution was easy. i have windows installed under parallels on the macbook pro, i reinstalled my Aone software.

hmmm… maybe that’s not a funny mac story after all…

anybody have any idea how to convert/burn to dvd-rw’s on mac i’m all ears… everything i tried didn’t work.

today was the second sick day i’ve ever taken my entire working life.

i didn’t want to do it, but if figured it was better to heal than get spread it around at work…

last saturday morning my windows laptop bsod’d on boot up… probably because i’d been using rollback rx heavily.

i’m not quite convinced that rollback is as good as norton goback was. i was getting some weird errors from various programs i run on a regular basis.

anyway, it was quicker for me to go and buy a macbook pro then it was to slave over windows all day to try and get it to where i would be happy with it.

so i didn’t just drink the apple kool-aid, i drank the whole pitcher…

and you know what? it tastes pretty darn good.
