The motherboard on my server died 2 weeks ago and it’s taken me this long to find a replacement and get the server up and running again. A benefit of changing the motherboard is that now the server is even more quieter than before! It’s all because I took more time to isolate the noisier case fans and to re-install them.

So I haven’t been able to blog for 2 weeks and *so* many things have happened. narf and blanca finally managed to get Windows XP running on a Mac! This is awesome news, especially after disappointing news a while back that Vista will not support EFI either. It seems they have managed to emulate a regular BIOS for the XP on Mac competition. Soon after the announcement, Leo Laporte did a great segment for MacBreak where they install XP on a Mac Mini and that’s the first place where I saw it actually running. A lot of people can now dual-boot their new Intel Macs and have a choice of XP or OSX (and even Linux!). I’ve never seen such a versatile machine! These are interesting times indeed.
