Separation anxiety: I’ve
touched down in Nashville between trips. For several days, my PowerBook
(12″) has been teetering on the edge as lots of little things have
added up to one large pain. I don’t trust it to survive another
week-long road trip without getting some tender care applied by a
professional.

 I’ll spare you the gory details, but here is the bottom line for
any of you Mac people: Moving everything from one computer to a new
computer is a two-hour snap if you’re installing Tiger on the new Mac.
Even a rookie like me can do it with ease.

I wish I’d not wasted five hours trying to mess around with the Disk Utility before going the easy route.

Googlerency: (oops, I didn’t hit the “post to home page” button
yesterday) I thought Friday night was reserved for breaking a negative
story. However, the Wall Street Journal is reporting,
“Google Inc. this year plans to offer an electronic-payment service
that could help the Internet-search company diversify its revenue and
may heighten competition with eBay Inc.’s PayPal unit, according to
people familiar with the matter.”

Google clashing with eBay should be interesting to watch.

Update: An AP story regarding the news.
