Dreams of a new Mac

July 18th, 2006

So let me just say, those new Intel Macs are reallllly nice looking. I sure am impressed by what’s going on under the hood. And, like most ‘Apple-stylized’ products out there, the Mac maintains it’s perfectly clean lines with a few add-ons. The first of which is the remote control. I’m such a media hog that having the ability to control what my Mac does from across the room…well…that would be awesome.

The one thing which does keep me from purchasing the new mac is the bad publicity currently surrounding them. By bad publicity I mean the PSU whining issues (which is currently fixed at the time of this writing). The second issue, which I haven’t personally validated myself, is the problems with heat. My current 12″ can get moderately hot when working on it, but 10 to 15 degrees warmer might put my lap on fire.

Thus, it seems as though I’m going to wait for these new beasts…maybe by the time the keynote comes around…a new one will be on the shelves.

No subject…

Yea, well, no subject.  Why?, cause I can’t think of any. 

The blue angels have been flying over my building here at work lately.  It’s pretty cool to see them practice their formations.  For those who don’t know, there’s an airshow happening this week right up at the airport here in Aliquippa/Moon.  Thus, for that reason, we have all kinds of cool planes flying everywhere and going really fast.

Other things…the house is slowly getting cleaned up.  This weekend I’m devoting to actually getting the kitchen finished…well at least the tile complete.  I really need to devote more time to my place to get it up into working order.

First big car payment is coming up in two weeks…only 59 more payments to go.Â
