Today I am done with many things. My last stats quiz. My management and leadership presentation. Next to last econ homework. <\/p>\n
This evening, in about 2.5 hours the minnesota DNC folks are having a forum where people can go to voice their views on how the DNC ought to be working. I want to to go, but it’s over an hour of public transit away (with two transfers). Way to make it accessible, folks. <\/p>\n
And today I lost the wireless card for my laptop. No biggy, I can replace it for $40. But I’m a little strapped for dough as I wait for the recent maternal check to clear, so that one will have to wait. But between wireless woes, adapter trouble, a flicker-prone screen, and an epileptic right half of the keyboard, I think it’s time to put this puppy out to pasture. Not to mention the fact that it’s an antique P.O.S. =) <\/p>\n
Next I will be a mac user. I am slightly saddened by the single button, but I will cope, and use a two button trackball at home. My debate is between a 14″ I-Book for $1200, or a 15″ PowerBook for $1800. My inner size (and resolution) queen urges me towards the Powerbook. But that is only a small whisper in comparison to my inner pinchpenny. The other differences are faster RAM 333 MHz, instead of 266; 32MB video foo v 64 MB; and a full size keyboard on the powerbook. All that’s nice, but I’m still thinking IBook. I also think their superdrive (DVD-R on top of the default combo DVD reader, CD-RW) would be virtually useless to me as I never seem to burn anything, let alone burn a shit-ton of data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
