About Dan Cohen

View all posts by Dan Cohen
Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him.

    Uh-oh — don’t those Apple OS swaps have to be done behind closed doors? ;-)

    Nah…plenty of people are doing it and posting on it. ;-)

    Oh, cool! And I read somewhere there’re native OS X drivers for the wi-fi card now, too! Keep us posted. I’d like to be able to take a lighter “Mac” on the road with than my “heavy” 15″ MBP. :P

    I love my MBP, and if I can, plan on purchasing a new one in the next few months. My toilet, ejector pump and mini-van have other ideas however, and have taken about $1500 from the fund… :(

    This is why I really would love to pick up an MSI Wind. Do I need one? No, of course not…but I want one real bad! :-) Hope it goes well.

    It took a bit longer than expected but.. OMG it works! No, let me correct that,it works WELL!!!

    Any issues Dan? Or is all well in FrankenMac land? :-)

    I’m really impressed with how OS X runs on this thing! While it certainly isn’t in the same league as my new macbook (or your awesome new MBA) it does run quite well. Instillation was pretty straight forward although I had to start over at one point because I did something wrong (not sure what but it worked the second time) and everything is working properly except the camera.

    Whie I can’t stand the tiny and limited trackpad (multitouch has spoiled me) the experience of using the OSXWind is pretty darn nice! And you can’t beat the price.

    And to Wayne’s comment yesterday- it is certainly more “appropriate” and “legal” to purchase a copy of the OS before heading into this territory.
