The Wayne Knight of the Computer World

You may have noticed that it's been kinda quiet on the blog. Sorry about that. I've been busy with work - and the foreseeable week or two looks busy, too.

One bit I can share. I got myself a new computer. For the first time in almost a decade, I got myself a new desktop computer. See, for the past nine or so years, I've been all laptop, all the time. But it was high time to chain myself back to my desk. The new desktop can do several things that I just can't do with a laptop, plus it saved me a boatload of money.

For those interested in the geeky details, it's an Intel Core 2 Duo, dual-booting Mac OS 10.5 and Windows Vista. Yeah, I know, Vista. It was cheaper to buy than XP - and yes, it's as lame as everyone says. I mean, it's pretty-looking and all, but some of the most basic things go screwy for no reason. I tried to re-install Vista on a new partition and it went something like this-

"To install Vista, you must format this drive in NTFS. Click Format."
"Vista cannot install because the drive is NTFS. Click Format."
"To install Vista, you must format this drive in NTFS. Click Format."
"Vista cannot install because the drive is NTFS. Click Format."

And it went on like this. Nothing like a dual boot to remind me how much I love the Mac.

Okay - better get back to work. Have a great week everybody.
