# 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.

# 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 :)

# ah, i'm working to feed myself through undergrad and to get books

# when I was on the sick full time
I tried to install gentoo linux with its compiling every bit- lovely system of doing things - but cock up once and you've written off hours of processing sillyness.
