The on my mind part

As my title suggests there should be some content on here that is currently on my mind.

Well here we are at the end of the post and I'm so glad I got that out. Thanks for reading.


Apple
Apple just released Mac OS X 10.5, aka Leopard. I am a person who doesn't own a Mac but is comfortable in using them when needed. From what is floating around there is a lot of hype about this new release. It has taken Apple over two whole years to release this OS update. They clam that there is 300+ new and updated features that were added to the OS and its the best Mac OS X ever. For a really well written article about it check out the Ars Technica review. I personally like some of the changes in the OS but as I don't use it I don't want too speak bias about something I don't use. The one thing I have noticed is that when doing an upgrade random applications and iMovie do not function properly. As well, there might be speed issues on older Intel machines.

My new notebook
I ordered myself a new notebook on Tuesday :D I'm so excited. I never new that the stages of grief applied to computers, but apparently for me they do. I was first thinking "Oh I can fix it and it will be all good", then I was mad at it and trying to figure out why it was happening to me. Followed by a period where I mopped about in sadness over its frying. Now I'm finally at the point where I can get a new one without any problems because I have accepted that it will not be back. Goodbye Notebook - I will always remember you.

With that said, I bought myself an ASUS F3Sv-C1, Its a nice notebook, if you want more info just Google the model and there will be information galore. The only thing thats somewhat daunting is that I have to drive to Toronto to pick it up because I'm too cheap to pay the $40.00 shipping fee and the 2% credit card fee which is 38 something dollars. It will cost me about 20 - 25 $ to drive to Toronto and back which is way cheaper than spending $80.00 that isn't even for the notebook. It will be my first long distance driving trip with me driving (don't tell Andrei) so it will be exiting :D :D. I can''t wait till Saturday :D

Sucks!

Music
So I've come to a conclusion. I like 80's, 90's, 00's music with female singers. And this seems to be my biggest conclusion about music. I took me a while to realize the connection between most of the artists I like and it was hitting me in the ear. Thats not to say that I don't like other types or bands, like I like Coldplay and the B-52's (new album in Feb. '08) but the core of my likes is female singers. Next step is to figure out why.

S Out.
