Hey y’all.
I’m half-way moving punk[G33K].
Most everything that I’d post here is now going to be posted on plainBETA.
The only stuff that shall stay here is the technology/computer stuff. But even then some of that will end up on plainBETA anyways.

So, the point is follow plainBETA!!!

While Ed was on vacation, his co-workers nabbed his desk set up (including his G5 Dual 2.5 and 30 inch plasma screen) and switched it with this Macintosh Pro from 1986.

Welcome, Child!

You are about to enter a world of magic and pretend,
An enchanted place where flushing never ends,
Where paper towels appear with a wave of your hand,
And soap drips quickly at your noble command.

Little gnomes run to and fro,
Fixing wayward toilets that overflow,
While sea nymphs conjure fire storms
To make sure the water is always warm.

Urinals, two with no partition,
Seek to break the old traditions.
Where once was etiquette there is grace.
Pee free! Pee now! Pee face to face!

Middle-Earth and Narnia fail to compete
With such a world so green and neat.
So welcome children, one and all,
Take a seat and let it fall!

Tommy

The very first Apple product: the Apple I.

It could be purchased for $666.66, but in order to make a working computer, users still had to add a case, power supply, keyboard, and display.
Now, one of the 30 to 50 remaining Apple I’s can be sold upwards of $14,000!

Think of it as the first Mac mini.

Pretty crazy huh?

The other day I had a friend gripe to me that iTunes doesn’t run very well on Vista.

I must point out one or two things.
First of all is that Vista should still be in a beta version.1 2 3

Secondly, Apple hasn’t released iTunes for Vista because they want to have all the bugs worked out (unlike Vista).
That’s just my personal opinion though.
