This has been a strange week. Monday evening the back gave out and the residual effects of medication had me in a purple haze for another day or so. After wimping about, work demanded my attention and still has me moving too fast. Lot of road miles this week.
Time to admit something. This is hard, please bear with me. Really having a tough time telling this, stuttering on paper, oh damn! I touched an Apple this week! It didn't hurt, well, not too much. Actually it wasn't nearly as painful as some spyware infested Windows PCs. Somehow great satisfaction was found in asking, "How do I turn it on?" Darth Jobs cleverly hides the switch on the side, towards the back of the machine. Windows machine makers put the on/off button right on the front where chimps can even make 'em boot up wanting another security fix for IE.
The one I touched uses OS 10, which is based on FreeBSD. At least the operating system is decent. There's no desire to use Photoshop, make musical ditties or any of that other Apple crapple. Just be nice to have one and possibly service the 5 or 10 orchard varieties in this area. Bet they pay a pretty penny for those technohelp moments.
Oh well, time to go "abuse" Linux for a few minutes: It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
"Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window."
-Steve Wozniak (father of Apple)
