Diadem Software

Well I finally bit the bullet and joined the Apple Developers Connection (ADC) as a select member. I toiled with the idea for a while and since I was going to purchase some new hardware I could apply a discount. I’ve been using a first gen Mac Mini G4 1.42ghz since they came out and has served me pretty well up to this point. But I really needed something a little faster to develop on. So after discussions with my CFO I decided on a new MacBook 2.16 ghz. I ordered 2 gigs of ram from Crucial and after a LONG weekend it finally arrived. I felt kind of silly waiting for this thing to arrive. I probably scared the Fedex guy with my big smile. Laptop is working great for me. It is way faster and actually makes some tasks more enjoyable! I have it hooked up to my 24″ Dell monitor when I’m in the office.   The ADC membership has been pretty nice for me. You have access to other information that you can’t get as an online member. That includes Leopard seeds and documents. Can’t go much into that of course because of an NDA but after trying the new development tools I won’t be using Xcode 2.4 for my application.
