DoubleCommand: Keyboard Bliss

Tuesday, January 16, 2007 | comments (0)
Okay . . . another Mac post. I'll switch subjects eventually. Previously, I had been complaining about keying wrong combinations after switching from the PC. The problem is even worse when I'm using my PC-oriented external keyboard. Well, to make things right, there's a neat utility called DoubleCommand. I just installed it and I now have CTRL-C and CTRL-V back! It's easy to use and appears in your 'System Preferences' pane after installation. Go get you a copy. Yee-haw!

I'm struggling with a bit of the sleepiness this morning. Maybe because I took an allergy pill a couple of hours ago. Those things kind of put me out. Even the non-drowsy varieties. Especially the non-drowsy varieties. But the itchy scratchy eyes, the peppery nose, the sneezing at regular intervals . . . well, it finally got the best of me. And it was worth dealing with a bit of the sleepy to stop the madness. I don't know what it is that's wreaking havoc on my head, but man I want to shake it's hand for a job well done.

I've noticed that PC users seem to go through five distinct stages of transformation when moving from their old PC to their new Mac. I thought I'd document those here, and in the process describe a few of my own personal switching pains.

Dear Apple: Why o why must you keep making things that are so damned cool?

I intended this post to be a somewhat thoughtful reflection on the past year, and possibly a statement of resolutions for the coming one. I also intended to post a photo album or two from the holidays. But this was last week - before The Fall. And what is it they say? Something about best-laid plans of mice and men? I'm surely one of those.

Of course, the day Apple becomes a corporate machine is probably the day they lose some of their 'cool.'
