I bought it a week before the new OS came out and keep checking in with you to see how much you like it. I can upgrade for free, but am hesitant if it is going to behave like my old PC. Should I or shouldn't I, I guess that is my question. Hi Jon, I am a newbie to Mac and have a MacBook Pro.

The Sub with Bloglines bookmark that they recommend gets the old atom.xml that isn't working. No problem, however, once I scrolled down on dooce.com and was curious about the teeny orange icon, and clicked on it... What worries me is that Bloglines tells me there are +5000 subscribers to the old feed, and only 100 to the working one. I think people need your lovely wife to post a Daily Chuck with Chuck balancing a poster "this is the feed" on his nose ;) ... I'll be really sad if you don't do that now :p I use Bloglines.

I have been in to the Genius Bar four times and we still can't solve it. Whenever I shut down, put it to sleep (or sometimes just when it feels like it) the MacBook Pro just disconnects and I have to restart to be able to login in to my network. My wife's iBook (still on Tiger) works fine with the network. Apple says it is a known problem and I am posting everywhere trying to find a solution. Saw your note about Leopard problems and thought I would see if you had the same problem. BTW: New site is OUTSTANDING! Jon,

NetNewsWire is quite nice, simply because uses the same HTML rendering engine as Safari. The other two just parse the RSS/XML as simply as possible. I wish I understood the mysteries of XML and how RSS works. It's seems somewhat mystical to me. Wave a dead goat over the server and hope the feed publishes correctly.

Well done. Especially the suttle touches of detail make it very inviting to read and very easy to allow the entire site to be viewed and not only one section. It's a very user friendly site.

Now I use the new version of Mail to track the blogs I like. I don't need all those advanced features. Fortunately, it appears.
