Email Dysfunction

I just thought I'd tell you all that my computer is in the shop. Seems that some little gizzmo decided not to send a signal to the monitor. So there was no picture, no idiot lights, nothing. I'll be largely off line for about a week, maybe 10 days. (I think I'm going to have RRF withdrawal pretty quickly.) I'm typing this at my inlaws' house on their computer.

And for those who were wondering about my absence; no, the 360 12 hasn't come yet. If it had, I might have been absent either playing it (most likely) or photographing it (quite possible) to document its arrival.

We'll still be here when you get back, Jim.

While your computer is in the shop go here and buy a new one!

Just wait till Kira catches wind of this....

They are not overpriced when you really see what you get with a Mac.

(sniff)

Apple is the worst computer out there, except for all the others

I loved my G3 untill it leaped to its death. If price wasn't an issue, I'd love to have another Mac, but I could buy a new 381 and a good amp for the price of a decked out G5.

I was seriously thinking of joining the light jedi and ponying up for an iMac when my son needed to upgrade... then I worked out we could build a PC with significantly better specs (chip, video card, memory and disk) for about 40% of the price.... That's a big markup for a nice OS and some funky software... Needless to say I stayed with the Sith.... Never underestimate the power of the dark side!

There is a lot more to a Mac than mere specs. The operating system is great, and the included software is a fantastic bonus, especially Garageband!

Hmm, I was thinking, "He wants a computer, not a toy..."

[jimk]

Well for the record, I don't particularly like PCs, and I absolutely despise Windows. So yeah, I've been thinking about a Mac laptop as the foundation for a home recording studio.

The lead guitarist in the Lemon Antennas has been a PCer with no Mac experience, but he just bought his wife a new aluminum Macbook and he finds it to be the way to go in the future.

Macs are not just about awesome specs. Because hardware and software are fully compatible on a Mac, you don't get random popups all the time about how things within the overall computer aren't communicating correctly, like I constantly did just trying to do basic things on a PC.

As a college freshman I was the only Mac dude, and a lot of PC guys in my dorm hall laughed. They had the really "tricked out" PCs that could run awesome graphics at high speed, etc. etc. But guess what? They still had system failures left and right. I'm the only one from that dorm that still has the same computer that was had back then.
