# you cant copyright a word in general use
nor can you own a comet but you can claim dominion over one.

And this argument stopped a while ago and I think you are the only one here still bothered about it

Other than that, well done

(and owning the patent on fucking would be difficult under the english system)

# not really fussed on owning anything
the use of things from time to time does me

# hrrrrmmmmm
well, i'm a staunch mac user, but then again i'm an arteest and you can't really have anything other than a mac for art. so i'm heavily biased.

there's also the wee tiddly fact that i've never had a mac crash on me of it's own accord. every problem i've ever had with one was due to the internet hookup. they're just wellmade systems.

# yeah
and I don't really need a 2ghz plus intel/amd processor on a laptop that I want mainly for word processing and typing

# oh, mine too,
but then the art school went and required it, so parents had to cough up! *dances about in technological joy*

# I wish my parents had bought me things
They stopped paying when I turned 16

# they don't do it willingly
but if it's required..... by the school..... well. they are compelled.

god bless the art school for requiring the most high end powerbook there is.

i worked my way through undergrad. I've got a fellowship now, and am taking full advantage of the fact that it doesn't say I have to work at all anywhere :)
