Mac OSX - Space Invaders


Again I am in the position to use a macbook pro temporarily for work. The excitement was quickly dulled by the fact that it was needed for work and not for personal use.

Since it was for work, I don't care how superduper a computer is, it's still going to be dull. Nice aluminium casing, though.

Spaces on the Mac is not new. But it's aesthetically pleasing and since work is boring, anything that makes it slightly interesting is a plus.

When I have lots of time on hand and have to do boring work, I separate my work into the following categories.

Space 1 - Quick Access to Info.

Excel, iCal, Safari

Space 2 - Project.

Mail, Final Cut

Spaces 3 - Gotta have music.

iTunes

Spaces 4 - Any other cr*p.

Preview, iPhoto

Everything is all good until I suddenly get a new project that co-exists with the current one, then the whole spaces thing breaks down.

Sometimes I need the Excel with the Final Cut, or the iPhoto with the Safari, or the Final Cut with the Excel.

Still, I like the design and the aluminum casing. That's why people buy the mac, right?
