So I have a new Powerbook G4. Thanks to Rustycan and Icefreon for their donations of five bucks each. That's all I've gotten so far, and that's all I have to say about that. Please don't ask me how much I paid, just mark it down as ALOT. About 3 world cup custom handmade alpine snowboards from Coiler. Maybe even 5 if the exchange rate's low. New sets of Bombers on each of 'em, and maybe even a new Descente trench coat. I always wanted one of those.

Wassit like? Well, the jury's still out. You see, the last Apple I used was a IIe. That's VERY old school, if you haven't any idea about Apples. I've been a windows guy for ... 8? 9 years? Yeah, something like that. I can make a window dance, and frankly, the Apple's kicking my ass. I don't know how to do very much on it (at all) yet, and even though I'm trying my best to steepen the learning curve, I don't want to crash and burn either.

A few of the speedbumps:
What the hell's up with one mouse button? I didn't think that was gonna be much of a problem, but I find myself pressing the ctrl and the mouse button alot.
Just exactly how the hell do I uninstall something, Mozilla for example? I installed (mozilla) it, deleted all the bookarks as I usually do, and somehow 'lost' the bookmark toolbar folder. I've tried dragging the whole thing to the trash and re-installing it, but it remembered the bookmarks I deleted and won't let me do the toolbar thing. Very annoying.
Being on a phone line down here's not helping, I've gotten used to my wireless. Not that I can manage to download anything anyway. I got igetter, and I'm not sure if it's doing anything or not, as I click on something to download, the native mozilla downloader's (um) broken or something, and it doesn't look like the igetter guy's doing anything. So I dunno what the hell's going on. Plus the phone's so damn slow it may be working, I just can't tell. Sigh.
I want to learn to use the thing though, because I'm tired of the potential virus threat, windows always wedging it's head up it's .... um .. nevermind, and always fighting with the damn thing.

Anyway, more on that later. Perhapse tomorrow. I just sipped a little champagne (not much, I'm on narcotics) and thought a bit about where I was tonite last year. In the hospital, lookin' like a reject from Dachau, and on a hell of a lot more if not stronger narcotics than I am now. I've come along way, but still have pretty far to go. Like about three feet straight up. That'd be pretty nice.
Should you be an arsonist from anywhere, but Kentucky in general, I hope you go blind. Because that's about the only thing I can think of that's worse than what you did to me. No, add one thing to that order please. Break your back too, because just blind's too good for you. You know why I hate you so much? It's not that I can't walk or feel any damn thing anymore. It's because every night I still cry myself to sleep and hope I'm no longer alive in the morning.

Ok, that's it. I'm over it.

I'm going to sleep now, but should one of you be an Apple God I need help with uninstalling things, and programs that allow aol, yahoo, and msn chat (hopefully all in one), image viewing and manipulation, text / html editing, segmented downloading, a decent FTP program, and an mp3 player. Please. Also, please think "Inexpensive" or "free", as I kinda destroyed the bank getting the hardware.

And to all, have a good New Year.
