The Pain and the Frustration
We finally purchased a multi function remote control over the weekend to control all of our multimedia equipment. The model we chose was the Logitech Harmony 520, because you can set it up using your computer (yeah yeah yeah I know I am a geek).
It looked so easy to set up and I could finally get rid of the seven or so remote controls that litter the side table next to the sofa. Oh what sweet sweet potential I could almost taste the excitemet as I ripped open the packaging and plugged it in to my computer.
OMG three and a half hours of pure torture later I finally got the bloody remote to actually work properly.
But now finally after almost taking the damn thing back to the store and asking for a refund it works, even though sometimes you have to press "Help" to make something work when you do a "Watch TV" or "Watch DVD" campaign.
Advice on Apple Mac Needed
On another topic, I am thinking of getting a Macbook 2 Gig Due Core notebook to replace my sony vaoi running windows. I will be running Boot Camp so I can still use Windows (all of my business and development software is windows).
Has anyone got some advice on what they think of the Mac book and importantly whether running windows using bootcamp they have ironed out all the bugs and it all works now?

Hmmmm - Yes Yes I know as a creative person I shoudl get the MAC but it's the lack of support for a whole lof development tools I can't do without - and the thousands of dollars in converting my software over to mac too......
Well the differences between Macs and PCs are getting smaller, since Apple jumped ship from IBM to Intel for there CPUS. The only difference now is the OS, and their compatiable programs.
Okay, dude, go with a MacBook! I just bought the low end one with the stock RAM, and it EVEN preforms well with 512! Anyway, the core duo is so much faster than previous PowerPC processors, and if you're worried about losing Winblows programs, just install XP on your Mac; they can even do that too. It's an absolutely beautiful laptop... :D
