Mac OS X woes

I gave in and bought a new Macbook, reasoning that if I waited for Apple to really get its act together, I'd wait forever.

So far, I've discovered that the SaVi package that I maintain won't work at all on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, though SaVi works just fine on 10.4 Tiger - which my new Macbook can't run. So, I can't use my own software on my own laptop - at least until Tk gets revised to work with 10.5's menubar. I hope my other programming efforts will be more successful on the Mac, though installing some variant of Linux via Boot Camp is looking increasingly attractive. Which distro will be least problematic and just work?

I bought the black Macbook, reasoning that it would wear better and discolour less over time than white - and that it would also look good with a ++ungood; laptop sticker over that glowing white Apple. (Forced branding and advertising when there's something worth looking at on your screen? Great!) If only I could find where I put my stash of ++ungood; stickers...
