the first years of my life my parents were in the navy, so while one was on tour, the other stayed. While my mom was gone, my dad watched over me, and I got to play video games (mostly card games) on his machine. as I got older, he provided me with cocos (spelling be damned) that I burnt through. Eventually (ah, the wonderful age of 5!) he gave me my own computer to play card games, duke nukem and Commander Keen on. Since then, I've always had computers in my home, even if they were a few generations old, they still kicked ass. When it comes time for my eventual kids to use computers, I'm going to give them an old box to play around with, maybe some vintage hardware, children need to appreciate CLI, and do my best to keep them off that micro-crack, but I'll give them rational reasons, instead of the standard "microsoft sucks cause it's the most prevalent. a good understanding of how, and where it came from.
I find it amusing that Jobs' intention for iTunesMS (win version, of course) was to get more people to buy ipods.
but nowhere have i heard any statements by (supposedly or otherwise) Jobs about the ipod-->mac connection, i would say that's an amusing side-affect, and i suppose one of his marketing gurus surely saw the dots and connected them (let the quiet snickering commence).
(my story itself is more of a itunes-->mac-->ipod, but hey, no one is perfect)
Actually Senior Cooper *dramatic pause* Broadband is pretty cheap here,:) however, I think i'm going to have to pay him a visit, and 'borrow' his brand new Powerbook.
could it be because the water is going from the heat-sink to the processors via the bottom tube? then again, perhaps I am mistake, and paid far too little attention during classes

it's only been nine minutes, and it looks like their server melted down... maybe it's just me, I certainly hope so!
