I’m now the proud owner of a MacBook Pro and a new iPod (since Apple is practically giving them away when you buy a computer if you’re in education – on the downside, I’m just betting that solid-state iPods are on the horizon, but I sure couldn’t beat that price.)

On the software front, I still refuse to move away from Firefox, no matter how many people say they prefer Safari (or Camino). But I am running NetNewsWire and MarsEdit.

No worries about me completely dropping Windows, though. I’m working on installing it on some leftover hard-drive space. :) There is finally a new TopStyle beta in the works, after all, and there’s no way I’m not getting my .02 in on that.

This is the first version of the popular Mac newsreader released under the NewsGator banner and includes synchronization with NewsGator’s services.

I figured since I’ve got to support the program, it would probably be a good idea to use it exclusively for awhile. I’m still a dyed-in-the-wool FeedDemon user (whether or not it pays my bills) but NNW is a really sweet app that does some things that I’m looking forward to seeing in future versions of FeedDemon (especially Smart Lists), at least until I go Mac-only. (Although I don’t see that happening any time soon since the new baby will likely cut into my geek-toy budget pretty heavily. :) )
