  5. Re:Bull, Apple TCO arg is fallacious on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    I'm the Mac guy at a small liberal arts college (4 campuses in three counties). We have around 120 Macs (staff, faculty, labs) and just one of me. Installing new Macs is a bit of a pain as I have to drive out to where ever they have to go but once set up, they're no problem.

    In the last year, since upgrading every G3 to G4, I've had only one hard drive fail and two mice stolen. When I took the job, and found out how many Macs they had, I asked the head of IT if he really needed a full time Mac guy. As it is, I feel like the Maytag guy. Oh well, at least I get lots of time to play around with Final Cut and Maya (no, I don't waste my time with webcomics and Fark).

    Wife and I (she's also bummed about missing out on stuff in college) have decided to wait until child is out on her own and we're tottering wreaks in a nursing home, before any more experimenting. Should be really fun, then.

    This is starting to make my Cube look not so cool. Must add more internal LED's. And where's my G5 processor upgrade card?

  10. Regrets on Surviving College With Gear And Sanity Intact? · · Score: 3, Funny

    The only regrets I have (I'm now married, with child-no fun allowed) are what (who) I didn't do in college. I never tried acid. I never got wasted every night for a month. I never slept with a hooker. Actually the biggest regrets I have are for the chicks I never did. Except for the fat girl I woke up next to, after drinking tequila. She was naked but I had my clothes on so I hope nothing happened but the fear is still there.

    As for school, it doesn't really matter what you do. Once peak oil hits, it's all a white line nightmare and, unless you're good with a supercharged V8 and a crossbow, you'll be dog food.

    My PowerComputing PowerTower 150 is still running fine (transplanted to rack box) while I've already ditched one b/w G3. My beige G3's run ok as does my Q650. The b/w just sucked ass. Same goes for most of their 603 based shit. So far, my MDD G4's, G5's, eMacs and flat panel iMacs (other than one that I found just today with firewire dead) haven't been too bad. Hopefully, their quality is improving.

    The projectors I'm looking at are LCD projectors and you can see the individual pixels, especially as you make the image larger. While it is possible to get projectors with higher resolution (1920 by 1200) it don't mean dick if your source is low res.

    I'll like more resolution as I'm able to afford a real home theater. I'm planning on having a projection system and when the picture is 8' across, it'll need more resolution to not look totally pixelated.

    Snort, cough! Gah! I'm saving up for a new computer just so I can do a phantom edit on this sucka'. Denethor was hardly a warrior with his spirit broken inside, just a slob. Theoden was never shown attaining his glory, and Aragorn had more issues than Woody Allen. What a fucking whine-fest it was. There will be some changes. Oh, yes, changes...
