Just checked the apple store now for my order status and it’s estimated delivery is 3rd March. My heart sank when I saw that I had another month to wait, another month of resisting the allure of other toys, another month of resisting the relentless march of SLI desktops and PC Core Duo laptops (especially Tablet PCs are looking more and more interesting as time goes on).

In the meantime, I have just started reading the second edition of Learning Cocoa with Objective-C from O’Reilly, but I am not sure how different 10.4 is from 10.2. Also been looking at the Apple Developer Center and I fear if I plan to release any code on OS X then i’m going to need to find someone with a PPC based Mac to test the Universal Binaries. I just hope there are plenty of Universal Binaries available when it does arrive so that I only have to gasp about the technical feat of Rosetta every now and then.

I also uninstalled the Windows version of Quake 4 when I heared that it would be UB on OS X – so i’ll keep that one for OS X (that reminds me, I had better order a multi-button bluetooth mouse for gaming!). I wonder if I can just download the OS X UB and use my Windows DVD? I am guessing that I will so tell me if you know different.
