Cool things about Apple products...

Posted May 10, 2002 12:44 AM.

Two things I love about my Apple products. 1) I can wake my computer from sleep and after a few hours I can ask, I wonder how long it's been since I rebooted my baby... And I can check by going to Terminal and typing 'uptime' and it tells me: 12:40AM up 6 days, 15:17, 2 users, load averages: 2.52, 2.67, 2.53. Six days. That's really nice. First OS I've ever had that could make a claim like that. 2) Because today for the very first time I pressed the central button on my ipod while a song was playing and suddenly realised that you can easily skip to any point in the track you're on just by using the jog wheel. I bet everyone else knew that. But still. It's really cool.
