Happy Mac Day
Tuesday was a good day if you are a Mac user. Apple held a special event where it released the news that it had updated the MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro. The best notebooks just got better. Additionally they released a new LED Cinema Display designed to be used with the new Mini DVI connectors that they are adding to all their new products. It has a built-in iSight and Mic. Unfortunately they do not have a standard DVI cable so I can attach it to my hardware.
OpenOffice.org released version 3.0 of the OpenOffice productivity suite, which competes with MS Office and iWork.
FileMaker released Bento 2, their consumer desktop database. It now offers support for importing messages from Apple Mail, creating libraries from Excel and Numbers, and some new themes. Its still not robust enough for what I need. For now I’ll stick with FileMaker Pro.
Adobe is releasing Creative Suite 4 (CS4) on Wednesday. I’d love a copy its just not in my budget.
