Josh’s envy has spun out of control. First he puts OS X 10.4 on his Dell:

I really don’t know why people think it is soooo hard to get OS X onto a Dell.

Josh has been running 10.4 like this for about 6 months.

I recently decided that the tried and trusted [1] personal information management tool I had been using, a G5 pen and a Levenger Circa, wasn’t doing much to manage the information on my computer.

I’ve been having tons of wireless network issues lately. At work, which is not surprising being I work at tech company - only God knows who is running what service on their laptop or who is running the microwave in the kitchen across the hall. More worrisome, I’ve been having issues at home [...]

Well like any good end-user I immediately installed the latest version of OS X without looking for problems others were having.
