Guess who finally catches up with Jake and his bug friend whose using the name of his long dead war buddy? Sammy the alien with tentacles that fire beams and a head with a messed up computer in it…that’s who!
I feel impoverished right now, but I scooped out my wallet for something awesome: after years of coveting I have finally nabbed me an Apple laptop!
I still have to slow my fingers down to find the Apple equivalent of a lot of windows shortcuts, but it’s a beautiful world in here, worth slowing down to enjoy the stroll!
I held off a while, conflicted, given my preference and support for open source software, but the bottom line is I’m too busy to waste time making things work. Apple has finished, polished curves in it’s unibody aluminum chassi (yes, I drool!) and it’s OS and software that need no tweaking to deliver performance.
Ah, I’ve sold my soul and drunk the kool-aid and it is a good thing! Now let’s see what kind of words I can churn out with this puppy!
