    "PCs are compatible with the fantastic Slingbox home-media broadcaster
     and (at this writing) my Mac isn't.

    "This is in no way a fair complaint about Windows, but I'm on a roll."

At least Apple finally decided to recognise my third party firewire camera
instead of making me buy a third party driver that doesn't work very well.

Right now I'm hating iSync.

And I'm not even using it.

I'm hating iSync because Palm dropped support for Palm Desktop with the
Intel Mac, and every time I've used a third party connector to sync my Palm
with iSync I've ended up having to restore my Palm databases from backup.

So I gave up. It's not just rocket science, getting iSync to understand that
YES I REALLY OWN TWO MACS and NO I DON'T WANT TO PAY MONEY FOR DOT MAC ON TOP
OF THAT, it's rocket science and brain surgery. It's brain surgery rocket
science, implanting prosthetic eyes while at the peak of a suborbital ballistic
flight from Afghanistan to Nigeria.

And Palm's USB doesn't work under Parallels.
