Let's see, I remember typing classes with old school IBM computers that were extremely boring in everyway with the floppy, floppy disks. Not the latter hard disks called floppy disks. And then I remember taking a required "how to use the internet" class in high school, spent the whole class playing flash games.

exactly. i'm taling about the Web 0.5 set... we were using telnet message boards before the internet had been invented... telnet was great for instant messaging also, since cell phones hadn't been invented either.... "which computer lab are you at? i'll meet you over there - we should go out later." i mean, what does Rob I. do for money? helpdesk for a law firm. everyone i know who's not in school or an architect does that... "oh, i fix the computers and scanners at the Kinko's" ... "oh, i do IT for an architecture firm." .... "oh, i do the digital x-rays at the hospital." ... "oh, i run the server at an independent political library." ... "oh, i manage the database at a co-operatively owned video rental store." ... "oh, i work for IBM." ...my brother manages the video conferencing setup and voice-over-IP at an investment firm. give a slacker a computer and they're just gonna slack digitally... and occassionally get paid a fuckload of money. short of that, why bother working at all?

Fair enough, plenty of my friends went that route too. I somehow just missed it by djing '80s hits until I woke up one day as a supervisor for a state Attorney General's Office in the Consumer Protection Division. Which sounds so much more important than those jobs at Intel and Microsoft that pay three times as much. |

I hope I do fairly often. I honestly try to, which I hope counts for something. That's not the trick though, the trick is to say the same uninteresting thing over and over as if that somehow makes it interesting. You have plenty of worthwhile things to say, your broken record anti-Mac tirade just isn't it. |

well i just spent half of my weekend trying to connect a macshit to the internet (it only takes 1 WEP key). and getting it to print (no official drivers for laserjet 1020). and realizing it's the slowest fucking computer i've used in years. the little spinning color wheel keeps idiots enthralled while they endlessly wait for apps to launch. so i have plenty of material. mac are shit-- superior marketing, mediocre product. there. |

And I suppose if the Magick Markers are in town, then Adam won't miss them either so he can tell us all about it too. I rest my case. |
