Holy cow, I had forgotten how much I prefer working from a real desktop environment (he wrote from his iPad). The bigger screen space is the most prominent bonus - word processor window and browser window both large enough to be usable at the same time, a full-sized keyboard, the desk space itself. It’s good to be back. Next is a new chair - this one is comfortable enough, but my idiot housemate broke the riser during one of his overnight Civ4 sessions when he was waiting on a non-existent job to materialize. So, I’ll look for that next.
Most of the music library survived. I was worried about that, since a huge chunk of it came from CDs and non-iTunes sources. My biggest worry was losing the entire Tangerine Dream catalog, as that is some of my preferred writing (and gaming) music. It’s there, along with the De La Soul and Rush and other collections. There are a couple of little glitches that carried over from the old machine - a couple of deleted apps are asking for permissions to accept external connections, and I’m trying to find out how to get rid of those once and for all.
