I’ve been using my new computer a bunch and really enjoying it. I’ve also been following this thread about getting the two-finger scrolling (featured in the just-released Powerbooks) working on older models. My vote is for SideTrack – it’s not free ($15), but it’s much more powerful, and works like a charm.

I tried East Asia last night – a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant around the corner from my house – after hearing from several reliable sources that it was way better than the outward appearance would indicate. They were absolutely right, and I quite enjoyed my dumplings and ma pao tofu (with pork). It’s no Zoe’s, but it’s good enough to become my default Chinese take-out place.
