My Mac continues to astound me. I’ve started moving my digital photo archive into iPhoto, a very cool database approach to storing digital images. It also has a feature that makes it easy to publish a slideshow to my .Mac account. Here’s my first test, using, of course, photos of my Big Green Egg. It couldn’t have been easier to publish the photos. I need to geek around a bit to see if I can adjust a few things, but I’m impressed.

From a business perspective, Mac also gets it. They have managed to sell me a .Mac membership, and I’ve already downloaded numerous CDs and songs from their online music store. I’m buying gadgets and add-ons for my iPod. This stuff is like crack. And it’s legal.

My one disappointment was the Apple Airport Extreme wireless base station. I couldn’t get it to work in a reliable manner with my PC/Mac network, and I’m going to sell it.
