So, sometimes I create my own problems…

They look pretty easy, right? No real problems, huh?

Working at home for 3 of the past 4 weeks with one or both of them, no problems right? The eye twitch must be from something else?

Its an intricate camouflage.  I’ve found at least 4 things in the picture that either provoked crying or yelling. Wanna guess what they are?

I’ve got the gadget bug for a laptop.

I’ve wanted one for a little while, but the bug bit down hard the other day. The thing is I’m cheap, don’t have a lot of money anyway and I like saving a buck. I also like the idea of getting only what I need and then suffering for it, consider my truck w/ no air=conditioning.

Now what I’ve always wanted is a Mac. I know they’re not cheap, but it’s what I want, so there. I’m also not silly enough to always give my heart what it wants, otherwise who’d be the boss around here– me or my heart?

Which leads me to three options:

1. a brand-new PC, like this,
2. a refurbished Dell for around the same price ($640)
3. or a used Mac iBook, like this.

I’ve seen iBook G4s a hundred bucks cheaper than the example I linked to. That $350 - $450 price range is what I’m looking for. I don’t know if it’s realistic though. Are machines in that price range pieces of crap? Usually they’re at least 15 months old, maybe two years, and I wouldn’t touch a similarly aged pc. But are macs different?

Which leads me to another question. How does Vista look? I’ve heard it’s worthless, although cnet says it’s ok and not much better. If I get a pc, should I get one with XP, or just not worry with it?

Keep in mind that all I want is a machine I can type up posts, check my email, keep all my music files on, etc. Really heavy duty stuff.

Thoughts?

AT is working from home. While sitting in the living room working on the computer, MastaG comes running in with a bouncy ball

MastaG: PLASMA GRENADE!!!

(throws bouncy ball into AT’s eye due to lousy aim)

AT: (CENSOREDCENSOREDCENSOREDCENSOREDCENSORED)

So I changed the tumor theme.  The whole “pick your own theme” thing was getting old, so you peoples can either love the rocket or use feedreaders.  Which, I still maintain, are for losers.

Got it from here…

I’ve been told that I should put the brain in the rocket, but I dunno, I think I might be retiring the brain for a little while.  If I had an artistic bone in my body, I’d come up with a new mascot!
