If you have used Outlook 2003 for email, you will inevitably have encountered the new email notification pop-up window. It’s one of the better GUI design Microsoft has came up with and the transparency option makes it easy on the eyes too.
Now similar notification can be added to OS X’s Mail.app with Mail.appetizer. Give it a try, I like it so far. Though I would like to see options to set the border/margin size of the window. It is a bit thick for my liking.
Ever since one of Apple’s Jaguar update (I think it was 10.2.6) zapped my PowerBook’s battery life from 3+ hours to just under 1:30+, my PowerBook has more or less tethered to the power socket. More so for the last few months when the battery lasts no longer than 40 minutes!
Well no longer as I received in the mail a pretty much brand new battery today, purchased on eBay for less than $35! Now I am happily composing this post untethered and the battery indicator reads 3:01 remaining, with 30 minutes usage already!
Long live eBay!
