You know your tech lust is bad when...

I went on a Craigslist bender, selling my extra "stuff" to justify buying my Mac mini...now as a "switcher" I'LL NEVER GO BACK! Macs are just awesome, as I've been able to blog, and produce a podcast...not that you can't on pcs..but making it so easy as Mac does, is crucial..I'm considering a new Imac 20.. .anduse my mini as a upstairs computer...

Apple gear is addictive.

It's not easy not to buy. I have a G3 Graphite imac, an eMac, a Mac Mini, ibook G3 12", Powerbook 12" and powerbook 15", 1st generation ipod and ipod photo. My wife don't want to buy the nano for our 9 year old kid and I need an intel mini.

Help me please i need the mini, but there's a baby comming and my wife wants furniture for the new kid. I think he/she deserves a mini, at least

Too late. Besides, the people over at http://microsoft.weblogsinc.com/ (TUMW) serve really good Kool-Aid.

Say "high" to my new friend; http://microsoft.weblogsinc.com/2006/03/31/ballmers-kids-brainwashed-against-google-ipods/

I was recounting a recent car accident I had and how much it cost to fix. His reply was "wow! That's a couple of PowerBooks or a half dozen minis worth!" LOL

I've been trying to get in touch about the subject and see if there's something to be done, but there's no eMail anywhere here to be found...

When the 5G iPod was released, I knew I was in love (again) and had to have it. I ordered in online and it was shipped through Fed-Ex. It was slated to arrive that Saturday. When Saturday came, I stayed at home all day while constantly looking out the window and opening the front door to check to see if I missed the delivery. I even checked to see if my doorbell was working! 5:30 came, and no iPod, and I was getting hungry, so I left the house to score some food. Upon my return to my home, posted to my door was the dreaded FedEx "We Missed You" memo! The memo said that they would be back on Tuesday, which was unacceptable to me. So, I called the 1-800 number and the representative told me that the driver was an independant contractor and they could not possible now where the location of the driver was. Distressed and desparate, I did a search on the web for a local FedEx distibution center and came upon an employment add for the local FedEx Center, located 2 cities away. I called the number and talked to the representative and without sounding insane, explained my situation, substituting the iPod for some story about how I purchased an engagement ring and was going to propose that evening. So, the rep forwarded my number to the driver, and five minutes later, the driver called me and we set-up a rondezvous point where we could do business. After a half hour drive, I met with the driver at a truck stop and we did the deed.

So impatient am I, I brought my Powerbook along for the ride and actually loaded the iPod with my music library and was listening to my tunes on the ride back.

Here are some for you.

Well, I am a freelance photographer and when I get paid I think of the amount in the quality of lens or the studio equiptment I can buy. Pretty bad. I am currently eyeing a G5 tower for photo editing but I need that Canon 300mm f2.8 first (3,000!!!).

I've been debating on buying an Xbox 360, but at times I remember that it's nearly a quarter of a Macbook Pro or even more of a (mythical) Macbook (iBook).

I'm holding out.
