Appleosity

I have been steadily turning to the Candy-Colored Side since the beginning of my employ. (Including spending most of today frobbing new machines, including the 24" iWhack I was not actually supposed to get, whoopsie!.) Earlier this week I made the final test: I had Boot Camp put a Windows partition on the laptop, booted into it, installed CoH, and tried it out. Seems to work fine, modulo the annoyance of trying to play with a trackpad. (Ah. Mem.: try TeamSpeak.)

So the kool-aid is delicious and fruity, and it seems likely that the next time we need to upgrade something (which is probably soon), I will be switching to a Mac. Jury is still out between iMac and a Mac Pro. Obviously the Mac Pro would be much sweeter, but iMacs are considerably cheaper, and if they are butch enough to do what I need, I may restrain my greed as it is likely to be a generally expensive year.

I can find out, if you like? We have Apple Lackeys at our beck, and even call on occasion.

Given the hook disappearing, it was probably left over cruft that hadn't been properly cleaned up in the migration to launchd and so a red herring. If I cared enough then I could work it out for myself (strategic echo statements spread throughout the boot scripts are wonderful debugging tools :-)). But it's not a big issue. I just have a sudo script called from my login profile, and my account is set to auto login so I have an effective work-around.
