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.

you can rent it

50p per minute i reckon
(vork and Hitler, sitting in a tree, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:00, archived)

nah
I've got computers.

but a powerbook for £5 is a deal!

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

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

probably not
it'd have to be a working powerbook to get into the newsletter

do you reckon you could make one out of a matchbox and a few bits of tin foil?
(vork and Hitler, sitting in a tree, 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

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

oh really?
and i'm not sure i like what you're saying about Amigas
(vork and Hitler, sitting in a tree, 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 Hitler, sitting in a tree, Tue 2 Sep 2003, 5:39, archived)

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

( 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 Hitler, sitting in a tree, 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 Hitler, sitting in a tree, 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 Hitler, sitting in a tree, 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 Hitler, sitting in a tree, 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...

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

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

you should be able to get a fine machine!

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.
