again

well... the new mac stuff has been announced. of course it makes me sad b/c all i have is a lowly one year old powerbook. i guess sometime around next spring i'll start thinking about buying a macbook probably, when they're starting to be shipped with leopard installed. pc's are for chumps i've decided. sure i still have a pc desktop... one that is still pretty blazing in terms of speed and ability. but come on... microsoft has been working on windows vista in one form or another for the better part of 5 years, and what do to they have to show for it? how well it rips off osx. i like building computers and all that, but i want my computer to be innovative, not derivative. i've been reading a lot of books written by guys named chuck. they're good. i like them for different reasons, but also for similar reasons, they both seem to have a detached sense of observatory realism. anyway, i ride my bike, i play in my bands, i read my books, i continue.
