hey you,

whatcha goin to New York for?

(

cwethan, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:55, archived)

im led to believe that that is where my girlfriend currently is.

owing to the fact that she was accepted inot columbia university there, and the term started on the second. which is today. Although i need clarification of this before i go.

(

PMGT -Bacon., Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:57, archived)

ooooh

(

cwethan, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:58, archived)

I was gonna say that,

but then you said it. So now I don't have to.

~~yes~~ no.

I'm actually gonna go and find out what the FUCK is going through her head the past couple of months....

sorry to threadjack, but

kitty... if you let me have the fiver, you can have this

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:46, archived)

hehehehehe :)

so laptop?

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:49, archived)

you can rent it

for a fiver

but you have to incur all postage charges i'm afraid

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:53, archived)

damn

you don't win then, unless tom doesn't show back up to give his address

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:55, archived)

well you can rent it

next time you're in the uk

50p per minute i reckon

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:00, archived)

nah

I've got computers.

but a powerbook for £5 is a deal!

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:02, archived)

oi!

it's only rental

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:08, archived)

yeah

but that wasn't what you said to begin with :(

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:09, archived)

tell you what

i'll make a powerbook out of household items (being careful not to use more than £5's worth of stuff)

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:11, archived)

ha!

do it!

I bet you'd get into the newsletter too :)

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:14, archived)

probably not

it'd have to be a working powerbook to get into the newsletter

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:15, archived)

yeah

I thought that's what you meant

/disappointed

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:16, archived)

well you know how you know about microprocessors and stuff?

do you reckon you could make one out of a matchbox and a few bits of tin foil?

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:18, archived)

hmm

nope.

I do have odd bits of silicon laying about though. I meant to bring some with me to the uk, now that I think of it, but they probably wouldn't have let me through security with them. they're very very sharp

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:22, archived)

hmm

maybe i'll butcher my old commodore amiga and torture it until it thinks it's a mac

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:24, archived)

hehehehehe

though I'm not sure I like what you're trying to say about macs...

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:26, archived)

oh really?

and i'm not sure i like what you're saying about Amigas

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:32, archived)

that they need to be tortured to become macs?

I don't really know anything about amigas

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:34, archived)

to be honest

i simply didn't know what you were on about so i just rambled :)

amigas were spectacular - deluxe paint for the amiga was miles better than photoshop, despite being limited to 256 colours and about 12x14 resolution

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:39, archived)

i would actually send you jaffa cakes, providing i can do so for under a fiver

but saying that, i sent a cd to a friend in washington state for about £2, so yeah.

admittedly

the least humiliating option..

and it means I get jaffa cakes

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:24, archived)

bah you don't want it...

looks like a mac... =P

(

rawr isn't really here., Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:50, archived)

I like macs :)

and he has a powerbook

/drools

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:50, archived)

well if it's the g4 with the widescreen...

i suppose that's tolerable... i just hate the whole 1 button thing... i used to be a mac head

(

rawr isn't really here., Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:52, archived)

i use

a 3-button mouse

and it is a widescreen G4 (but not the 17" one - that's just silly)

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:54, archived)

I personally prefer the 1 button touch pad on my ibook

I have wrist problems that regular mice exacerbate though

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:56, archived)

the trackpad

makes my hand hurt after a while

that's why i bought a travel mouse (it's small and has a retractable lead for storage - it's quite cute)

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:59, archived)

yeah I have one of those somewhere

~~it's buried under a big pile of stuff~~ I can't find it and moving my wrist like I do, even though I shouldn't, on real mice makes my arm hurt through my wrist to my elbow

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:02, archived)

i lost mine last week

found it in my sock drawer

/no idea

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:07, archived)

you have a sock drawer!

I'm still trying to prove I'm the messiest b3tan

I don't know why.

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:10, archived)

my sock drawer

contains far more than just socks

i honestly think something lives in it

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:12, archived)

hmm

I've not bothered to assign a sock drawer.

I don't even know what's in my dresser. hmmm...

I should probably get rid of whatever is though, since I obviously never use it

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:15, archived)

that's a stupid reason

no offence, but they work with regular mice, just buy a nice 3 button optical one.

If you're going to spend the extra money to get a mac, you can afford $20 for a mouse..

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:54, archived)

that's true, but...

i also am not a big fan of the OSX interface... granted the mac is a wonderful platform, it's secure and such, i just personally prefer my PC

(

rawr isn't really here., Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:55, archived)

although with all the grief my pc has caused me this week

i think i wouldn't mind just going and using my mom's imac

(

rawr isn't really here., Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:58, archived)

that's a good reason

see? wasn't that easier.

I just think everyone should use whatever os they want.

really, as long as you can save files into standard formats, there's no reason to squabble.

I'm a unix geek though. I like owning a unix box

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:58, archived)

i have a couple of them too...

but i haven't been arsed to turn them on in a while...

(

rawr isn't really here., Tue 2 Sep 2003, 4:59, archived)

why not unix on a pc then?

(

Kaiser, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:01, archived)

she likes to

be ~~weird~~ different :)

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:03, archived)

it could be cool with the new G5 dual processor mac,

but i'm not a rich man!

(

Kaiser, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:05, archived)

they look

scarily good

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:06, archived)

because that would require formatting and stuff

this one came ready made

(besides, my uni bought it for me)
/lazy

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:04, archived)

you can install a bsd very quickly!

no problem!

(

Kaiser, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:08, archived)

yeah, I've been told

but I'm afraid of not being able to find drivers for my modem or soundcard or cd burner.

I probably will if I ever get the motivation, but for now I find it convinient to have a windows machine for things like kazaa and my music software

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:13, archived)

but

you can't get your cd burner working with windows :P

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:14, archived)

if BSD supported all my hardware

i would run it.

(

rawr isn't really here., Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:16, archived)

if you're good at tweaking BSD

you should be able to get a fine machine!
OSX is based on BSD!

(

Kaiser, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:24, archived)

yeah

that's a very good point.

I'm waiting for someone to make a financial decision, then if it's ok, I'm going to buy myself an external dvd burner and put the poor old cd burner out of it's misery.

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:17, archived)

erm...

what's the problem with your cd burner?

(

Kaiser, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:20, archived)

it's 6 years old

it doesn't work reliably any more

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:25, archived)

oohh..

i think it's close to death!

(

Kaiser, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:26, archived)

yeah

seems to be.

I bought it used for $79 which isn't a bad deal since they were still over $200 new at the time. It's been nice, but it's time for a new one

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:28, archived)

it can't be long

before dvd-burners get cheap!

(

Kaiser, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:34, archived)

yeah

when the blue laser ones come out, the red laser ones will be cheap.

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:36, archived)

oh, forgot to mention

my powerbook has a superdrive too

/rubs it in

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:37, archived)

yeah

well my iBook was free!

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:39, archived)

bastard

(vork and burlap, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:39, archived)

they've got a fine documentation:

www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/hardware.html

(

Kaiser, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:17, archived)

yep

as I say, I'll probably do it one day, but I'm more lazy than I am geeky, so it's just going to stay windows until I get very very very bored one day and do it on an impulse

(

kitty meow meow, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:19, archived)

it is
