Mac trumps Windows #490,584

So I got a Bluetooth-enabled iBook several months ago. Then I got a Bluetooth mobile (Sony Ericsson T68i), and now I've got a Bluetooth PalmOne Zire 72.

In setting up the Palm I discovered that Mac OS X.2 has built-in Address Book/Bluetooth linking. In other words, once I paired the iBook and my mobile, I could click on an address in my Address book and my mobile would dial it--courtesy of Bluetooth.

At the same moment an SMS came in on my phone--and appeared on-screen as a pop-up window. I could reply to it using my keyboard (rather than the mobile's push-push-push). Then I discovered I could right-click on any mobile number in my Address book and send an SMS directly--again via the mobile phone.

At work they made me get a Wintel laptop (a Toshiba Tecra). I added a Bluetooth doggle, it's up and running but there's no internal mechanism for SMS like on the Mac. Oh, there is a free app from Microsoft to send SMS--but it doesn't support USB Bluetooth doggles, and it won't receive messages.

If Apple can do, it can't be that hard.

Moving on up, to a deeeluxe apartment

Jaysus, nuttin to post for days, and then it comes in spurts (it hurts)

We just received word our application to rent a new apartment closer to Life, the Universe and Everything has been approved. Call us steretypical, but querrelle and I are moving!

Place: Moore Park Gardens
When: 2-3 weeks

We'll be on the border of Surry Hills and Redfern, about a 15 minute walk to Oxford Street, and a 10 minute drive (in traffic) to wor--and no more bridges to cross neither. 2 bedroom, large front and back balconies, split level, gas cooking, all mod cons.

His and his bathrooms! All we need to suss out is where to hang the alien birthing chair!
