My sister in law has tagged and challenged me to post seven random facts about myself. So off the top of my head here they are (I didnt say they would be interesting..)

- I have a mitral valve prolapse
- I used to live in Wollongong
- I play drums and bass guitar in a 'band'
- I like Goldfrapp
- My favourite thing in the world is laying next to my daughter and breathing in the air that she exhales
- The only foods I really dislike (apart from offal) are leeches and artichokes
- I used to dye my hair burgandy and black (not at the same time)

I managed to install OSX 10.5.1 Leopard - which is the operating system for an Apple Mac onto my PC the other day. Which I must admit I was rather pleased with. Its not running in a virtual machine, its running native as a dual boot along side Windows (flavored Vista at the moment). Whilst its common enough to be able to installed Windows on a Apple, its not that common to be able to install and run a Mac OS on an IBM Pc. Although if you follow the guides on line its really not that difficult - just rare thats all. Infact to be honest the install was very very easy to do. And Im quite chuffed about it.

So what do I think of OSX - I like it. Particularly Leopard - have I turned to the 'dark side' - yeah maybe I have and I think I would be inclined to run it as my standard OS of choice except Mac's just dont have the same range of software available that Windows does - dare I say it. So if I can find replacements for all of my standard Windows apps then yes I think I would like to turn to the dark side.
