Initial Wrath of the Lich King impressions on a MacBook (GMA950)

I threw WOTLK on my circa-2006 MacBook last night for some initial tests. While the card is not supported by Blizzard, I can’t say I noticed my framerates were any worse than I got in Shatt.

I was averaging about 15fps, which was normal for me in TBC. It was definetely playable–at least as far as what I was used to.

Testing Scrippets

Not sure if I’ll ever use this, but testing the Scrippets plug in

MARY Anything you want to tell me?

FRANK (O.S.)

Thoughts on the Jobsnote, August 7.

New iMacs: Look good and I like the form factor. Not sold on the keyboard, but I really like the MacBook keyboard so this may be a winner. Video card looks a little anemic.
iLife08: The Events feature looks great. If it also included Flickr uploading I’d stop by the Apple store on the way home.
iWork08: Glad to see Numbers, the spreadsheet, in there. While it handles track changes from Word I’m disappointed you need to import/export the Pages file from and to Word formats.

E-mail issues

For those who may have sent me e-mail over the last few days: You’re going to have to re-send it to me. Due to a failure at my now-old hosting provider, e-mail was not getting to me and wasn’t generating bounces either. That’s been resolved by switching hosts. For those who may have been here for the blog, I don’t plan on posting any of the old-blog entries; there just weren’t enough of them to matter.

The layout is a theme I cribbed of the ‘net. When time allows, I’ll be customizing a new one, but it will not be for a bit.
