I hate cereal, with the exception of the different Chex varieties. Something about putting cold cereal in me in the morning just feels yucky.

I thought he died (figuratively) like 10 years ago...

Wow - I was able to resurrect my iBook today, after a mysterious hard drive problem that put it out of commission back in late December this past year.

Now I don't even know what to do with it.

I think the original part of the school was built around 1950 or so, but so much has been added on to it over the years, that the original part is a very small part of the whole school.

Giving Lamarr attention is only gonna add fuel to the fire. Ignore him. He'll get bored soon.

My thoughts exactly.

I thought Gary said that posting Lamarr's videos was strictly against the rules...

Is it spring or what?! 72 is the forecasted high for today, with a 30% chance of thunderstorms.

Man, CSS is incredibly annoying.

I'd do everything in HTML if CSS didn't have its perks...

Just seems like sacrificing power/usability, for portability and price...

I still fail to see the appeal of netbooks, other than small and greater portability.

So I picked up the Windows 7 release candidate and dual-booted it on my netbook.

Microsoft finally fixed Vista.

Still, it turned a LOT of people away from Microsoft forever.

You really think that many people left Microsoft?

Yeah, actually they did.

It did turn people away, you can see it in the rising Mac sales. However it only turned away some consumers, enterprise will stay Windows for sure. But anyway, as much as a Mac fan that I am I'm currently using Windows 7 right now (I've had it since they released the public beta) and there are pieces of it that I wish OS X had, I'm extremely pleased!

I'm not sure why one would ever expect to change enterprises to a Mac. Windows is THE business computer.

I'm not thrilled with OS 10 either, which is mainly why I stick with OS 9 and below. Basing OS X on NeXTSTEP and UNIX was not the greatest idea, IMO. It closed several doors and opened up few windows.
