In any event, my wife asked me last night to put some new songs on her iPhone as all she has is older music - her musice dated back to circa 2009. Biting back the first sarcastic comment that came to mind ("You can find it on the server.."), I said sure. This little exercise was going to eat through my evening. Just because everything is in one location, everyone has their own iTunes database and none of them are up to date with the contents of collection. I thought I would have to blow away her iTunes database and import everything in the library again, or I would have to at least manually add every new song. However, I found a neat little procedure that save a ton of time and thought I would share it.

Seriously, it's been some time since I've updated the blog. Shame on me, there were a number of opportunities that were perfect for the blog. I'll start small and see if I can keep additional content coming. Out of the gate - I'd like to talk about my OS X 10.6.3 upgrade.

! It's finally here! IntelliType and IntelliPoint v7.01 is now 64-bit compatible with Snow Leopard. I can finally go back to my Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 setup.

The only issue is that it took literally 30 minutes to find the software. Microsoft's site kept pointing me to an older version (v6.x) of the software no matter what combination of keyboard/mouse/desktop options I selected. The first 50 websites I found on Google pointed me back to Microsoft's site.

I was able to find it finally on softpedia's site, and it was mis-labeled. Here is the link. The page is labeled as Microsoft IntelliType v7.01, but it contains the desktop programs. This means that both IntelliType Pro and IntelliPoint are included in the package.

Although it seems like a lot of people have starting doubting the usefulness of these netbooks, I can tell you I get a lot of mileage out of mine yet. It now has a permanent home in my Go-Bag.
