Easy Soulseek client for Macintosh means no more PC for me
Soulseek is my favorite P2P file-sharing network. Until recently though, the only functional Macintosh Soulseek client, Nicotine, has been a big hassle to install and run, requiring the Apple Developer Tools and X11 SDK. Now there's a new pre-compiled version of Nicotine. All you need is OS X Panther and Apple's free X11 X Window System. It was a simple install and works like a charm.
The result is that now I feel OK selling my PC laptop and buying a Powerbook. I love the ultra-portability of my supersmall and spritely Sony Vaio PCG-SRX77 and I'm sad to part with it. But at least the 12-inch Powerbook approaches sub-notebook size. And I'll finally be all Apple, all the time. Link (to eBay auction)
