one lonely success

These first few days of dent school have been a real whirlwind. Any moment of free time has become a precious commodity! As such, it has been a real challenge to find time for things that I once considered the highest of priorities. I made it over the hump (Wednesday) and am clamouring for the weekend. When your weekend consists of a “night on the town” with your lovely girlfriend, a visit from your sister and a rAdIoHeAd concert, you get pretty jazzed. (More on these events later!)

In other non-dent related news, I’m going to place my order today for my new notebook. I loved my x1000 notebook and its beautiful wide-screen display. However, the over-hyped tech requirements for school were just that–over hyped. With that in mind, I passed it on to my wonderful sister and am going back to the platform that I love–Mac OS X.

Now, I’m the first to admit that Mac’s aren’t for everyone. For example, if you’re a student/professional who has to run particular software apps that are only found on Windows, then the Mac obviously is not for you. (Gamers, you fall into that category, too.) However, if your needs are “standards-based”, that is, rely on industry standard file-types and technologies, then the Mac is a great choice–especially for portability.

It appears that my good friend, Stonebraker, is going to take advantage of some incredible Apple discounts and make the “switch” himself. Look for his switch commercial to show up any day now.

OK…time to head off for Day 4.
