  • Public Cool - I get a nice little black Apple-embossed cloth to clean the LCD with. The extra stuff like stickers and stuff was in an attractive little pouch. You have to hand it to Apple - they've made setting up a computer FUN!

  • Public is happily drunk - not overly so - after a fun night out at a BBQ to see my sister home from the UK briefly. Fucking hell she is funny at times :-D I had forgotten HOW funny.

  • Public Parallels or VMware Fusion to run Winblows on my new Mac?

  • Public trying to decide between: a) a top end 24" 2.8GHz iMac, b) the bottom end Mac mini, 20" LCD and MacBook, or c) a bottom end MacBook Pro. Those three options are what I can afford.
