Orchard Litigation, OS Rivalry and Rambling

Looks like the Beatles are going to put Darth Jobs and Apple in their place. You can start reading about it at BusinessWeekOnline. Very deserving for an arrogant, ill-mannered liar and not nearly soon enough. Yes, Apple is trying to catch up to modern technology as is proven through their recent agreement with Intel. Yes, I do like Appple OSX and whatever has superceded it. Yes, I do hope it is made available for Wiindows PCs at a REASONABLE price.

At least they have one version and it is based on the super opensourced FreeBSD. Again, why didn't Windows learn from XP and the confusion about two different versions? Now I hear they will have EIGHT versions when Windows Vista finally hits the market. Rumors of pricing are indicating a horror story in the making. Hope such gossip is not true. Sheesh! Greed does funny things, huh?

Work will be late and long for the next several days. You have no idea how good that sounds. Most of the time will be spent around people that I really like and that helps. Lot of tasks ahead, but it's the best scenario possible for someone that is trying to stop engaging warpwhine. There's also the added bonus of dancing with UPS for supplies, tools, etc. Gotta' love 'em.

Due to the good heart of a friend there is a PDA back in my life: Lobotomy city without one. It'll take a few days to import data, but the prospect of hearing that alarm and checking notes makes even the first day of use a relief. What wonderful devices. They've come a long way since the days of Palm 3s and 5s. The Palm desktop is a great utility that is easy to use. Tried the Outlook sync thangy and that marriage won't work for me.

Time to get bizzy. Weather outside the beach house is beautiful. Get casual and enjoy the day.
