But I'm going to save myself whatever trouble may come and save myself the time by buying a new one. <BR/><BR/>However, I did take time to Google "braggadocio" and was further enlightened.

I only do this once every couple of years, and I think that's about all I can take.<BR/><BR/>Jam: Sorry I brought back those memories. Truly, I am sorry.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous: Problem is, Linux doesn't play nice with pretty much all the programs I have on my computer. At this point, I'm not ready to migrate. I think that would end up taking much more time and frustration than dealing with Microsoft for a day.<BR/><BR/>Omar: yeah, you totally lost some moral ground with that. But honestly, I've been looking at the Mac pretty closely lately. They do provide some interesting pluses... but they do have some drawbacks... namely the 9000+ pictures and 6000+ mp3's I'd have to migrate over... as well as learning a new OS. Which I'm sure I could do, but answer me this: How much would a Dual Core system with 2 gigs of RAM (800 Mhz), a Super Drive, 600+ Gigs of Hard Drive space and an open slot for an OTA HD card cost me? If it's under $400, then maybe we can talk...Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421754239978764299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11343809.post-71971700613029783522007-06-05T21:55:00.000-05:002007-06-05T21:55:00.000-05:00I was originally going to go the route of "anonymo...I was originally going to go the route of "anonymous" and say you should get a Mac, but I refrained.<BR/><BR/>Though I guess in telling you this, I'm no longer refraining, and am consequently losing my claim to the moral high ground.omarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868485868715017527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11343809.post-11707189616347708402007-06-05T10:15:00.000-05:002007-06-05T10:15:00.000-05:00One Word: LinuxOne Word: LinuxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11343809.post-53659732753217932302007-06-05T08:17:00.000-05:002007-06-05T08:17:00.000-05:00AAAAAAH!
