So far Scrivener is working fine on the MacBook with rosetta. I haven't put it through any rigorous testing, but so far I have imported picture files, exported rich text files, and, of course, written different scenes.
Just an FYI.

I'm finding the same--no problems on the MacBook so far.

Thanks for the info - that is good to know. There should be a Universal Binary of the new beta in a few weeks' time, so it will be interesting to see how that holds up (fingers crossed). I'm currently very disappointed that Apple didn't release an Intel iBook for their birthday - I'm holding out for one, and I'll be very reluctant to release a Scrivener 1.0 Universal Binary without having tested it myself.  |

So Keith, you must be really excited since MacBooks were released today. ;D
Downloaded Scrivener Gold and everything's fine — let me know when you're ready to test the new beta...

Oh yes, I am very excited - and also super stressed because of the beauty of the MacBooks and my own lack of money (full time job vs young family  ). I have spent the last half hour gazing lovingly at the info pages on the Apple website. Still, with an educational discount and determination to get one even if it means not eating for the next two months, I will have one within the fortnight! I WILL have one within the fortnight! I *WILL*, I will I will (stamps foot and starts crying). Ahem. All the best, Keith |

Ah, a young family did you say? Well, small children are very hard workers — countless American companies have proved this in a variety of Third World countries. What greater thing is there to work for then a beautiful, shiny new 13 inch MacBook? Okay, so a fortnight, huh? What is that in American? ( :-) ) |

Hmm, I do seem to have had a little accident with my credit card last night... So the children will definitely have to start learning how to make sneakers (though the younger one may struggle, what with not being able to walk yet).
Fortnight = two weeks. (Now I have to look up why...) Is that not used in American English too?
All the best,
Keith

What a coincidence — I had exactly the same accident last night. However, delivery - June 8... and I leave for vacation on June 9. Very tight margine! |

Re: fortnight - no, it's not used in American English, despite my best efforts to promote it by using it all the time.

And it turns out it's a really simple one - fortnight = corruption of "fourteen nights". Huh. All these phrases you use without knowing their roots - don't you just love Brewster's &c? Gaijin - yep, it's a long wait. I have a shipping estimate of May 24th and a delivery estimate of June 6th (I guess Apple are realistic about the uselessness of most UK dispatch companies ). Oh well, lots of work to do before then. Can't wait to get going properly with a universal binary, though... Not to mention to get my hand on one of those lovely MacBooks. |

Perhaps if the children made more shoes it would come quicker....
;D
Well, when it arrives I am sure the sheer beauty and love will wipe out all memory of the past fourteen days (two weeks) — as we say in America
