Most semesters I’m usually pulling my hair out figuring out how I’m going to go about getting grades that I want, how this or that assignment will get done…but not this semester. This semester I’m taking quite a slack term under my belt. The only real hard course I have is INFSCI 0020….which is a programming course which I dropped the pervious semester. So, all is good so far on courses…in fact, some of them are so easy I just want to scream!

As for other things school I found out yesterday that I almost did not graduate. That is scary stuff. Turns out I had the incorrect credits lined up for the semester and that would have prevented me from actually graduating. All is good now though. I picked up 2 independent studies (which should be fun). Speaking of the independent studies…I think the rest of my week will be comprised of coming up with ideas for them.

There are times that I wish I would have invested massive amounts of money into Apple computer. I guess that’s the way things are with many people who invest–they wish that they could have done something in the past now knowing the future. The stock has grown so much in the past few months and confidence still remains high with the company.

Apple computer did their quarterly thing today with new updates to product lines and removal of old trinkets. A lot of the removal, which subjected the Powerbook line to a name change and product line change, I don’t agree with. Many people like the past Apple products. Take the eBay/iPod Mini inflation on ebay (story)–many of these older products are selling for almost $75.00 more than their original list price (of $199.00)…insane! Back to the name change, the new laptop line from Apple is now called MacBook Pro — a change from the original name of Powerbook. This product change now, though, is a definite step in the right direction. These new laptops are rigged with the best in hardware (*whisper* they’re now supporting two processors!).

So, even though Apple is one to quickly change their product line up, I’m fully confident that they know what they’re doing. In fact, I have no doubts–I just miss some of the old hardware they had. Hey, maybe my current laptop (a 12″ Powerbook) will sell for much higher than it was originally purchased (~$1500.00).
