kamomilI am typing this from my brand new XP windows clone. Yay! It's a Pentium 4, with windows XP on it. *sigh of relief* And the windows don't take 5 sec to fully draw like they did on my pentiummmm. Though I had to ask for a modem for it, cause... apparently dialup is obsolete.
Though everyone seems to ask why I didn't get a mac, I am tired of the incompatibility between mac things, on the other hand, windows, clunky as it is, seems to behave pretty well even when it's on an ancient machine, in comparison. I was surfing lavalife.com to hopefully find someone to date. The internet explorer on my powerbook 1600 was woefully inadequate for that. Oh, and the OS 9 mac at work, its browser doesn't see the LJ "add comment" pages. O.O AND I couldn't find a version of MSN messenger for my powerbook. AND the mac version of Gaim is for OS X only. Goddamn near everything is. I will have to pay much more to update the mac so I am still putting it off. AND my cellphone won't talk to a mac. This happened to me with keyboards, when they leap too far ahead and get very expensive and update with no backwards compatibility, I say a big hearty EFF YOU to the people who jsut want to make money by making stuff obsolete and selling you new stuff. I would love to get a Mac but for what I want to pay, I can't see it happening. And I dunno, XP is ever so well behaved on the computers at work, it seems kind of dumb to not get XP.
I am getting a bit less interested in John Mayer... he is playing a show in Toronto that I didn't get tickets for... etc. etc... and on mystupidmouth.com there is a thread that first discussed how quick the tickets went, and now the thread has turned to discussion about how to get to the venue... :( I am a wee bit jealous but I'm not sure I want to see a bluesy John Mayer anyhow.
I just don't feel like I fit in anywhere this week. Not on mystupidmouth.com... not at work... but![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
