uugggg!

My trip to the States is becoming complicated. I hope I can borrow a laptop, in particular an iBook but those Macbooks look pretty good for the price. I know pretty stupid and it would be reneging on my promise to my wife to wait two and a half years (from Oct 2006) before buying a new one, but...
On the trip to the States I will be taking pictures and will need to download to something? I don't want to use my mom's HP, it probably has virus anyway and not working. ohh the dilemmas aof technology, I suppose I could take all my SD cards along and fill them up, but a month in the States is a long time. I was even thinking about a refurbished Apple Mac, there is some good prices on quite a few good choices. BUT I really need to wait for the January announcements. I still might be tempted to buy an iPhone, well not theonefrom Cisco. An Apple phone with good PIM, Camera (2MP+) and iTunes would be hard to resist, but my wife has raised her eye about any big purchase like that since my current phone (SE T610) hasn't died.

Oh, don't let there be any cool new stuff..

When I bought my new Canon 400D/XTi I promised my wife I would not buy a new Mac for another two and a half years. Okay, I was insane but I really want to learn Photography and use my Mac too. So far even with the after Thanksgiving sale and new announcements the last few months I have nothing to regret. Though I have fear and trepidation with the January - February announcements we usually have to look forward to.

Money is tight so if I see something it has to fit into a real need. With a new job change coming next year April and less pay I have to be careful with my enthusiasm and spending. This will be one January - February that I hope the announcements, beside Leopard which technically is not a computer so I can buy, are dull and unneeded. But I probably will be unheeded and something really useful and 'needed; will be announced.

This musing is not going as well as I had hoped. I have a headache because my son woke me up at 5 AM and all the great things I had in my head last night are gone so until next time.

No title..

Just trying out using Journier in conjunction with Blogger
.

as well as uploading photos. I'm a Mac user and still trying to find a tool that is best for my usage and abilities. Kinda interesting the choices. You really have to keep up with what is out there but also either be lucky in your choices or be able to switch with no regrets.

Well here goes

My first post will be simple...

My first post is simple just want to let you know I have a aluminum powerbook 17" 1Gz 1G Ram, that is a real blessing. It is my main computer and I bought it here in Taiwan. I think one thing I will share is my response to apple products and third party hardware and software I become interested in. The other is I often wonder why so many people are having problems, especially with software. I don't know if I will do any catching up but in the future I will post my thoughts and pictures.
