Switching time

Okay, it´s enough of that shit.

Yesterday I wanted to work on my PC a little,

but too bad - it doesn´t boot. Checked the wires - still

doesn´t work. It simply doesn´t respond to the "Power on" button.

Looked inside to see if any wires are unplugged, but in between

the mess that is my hardware I had no idea what could be wrong.

Is the button itself damaged? I didn´t do anything special last time

I used it.

I am fed up with all this PC crap. GIMP crashes all the time,

my internet is slowed down to a crawl (God knows what kind of

Spyware or whatever is on it), I can´t even install RAM

properly. And nevermind that I didn´t backup my last pictures, most

stuff is stored on various CDRs, though. That´s the problem with

buying low end hardware - its only a matter of time till the whole

systems crashes. Cheaply made stuff breaks fast.

I am going to take some money from my savings and buy

a Mac Mini.

I never was a huge fan of Macs so far (mostly because

I didn´t like their one-button mouse), but the fact that operating system,

software and hardware are all made by one manufacturer is reason enough

for me. A Mac is a Mac, there is no hassle with dozends of driver disks,

system parts dying and dragging other parts with them, or incompatible hardware

causing problem after problem. I just need a

sturdy, reliable, quality hardware.

And with 600 euro it´s not exactly

a bargain, but those are machines that are supposed to last for many, many

years. And I don´t need to make huge internet research to compare brands.

It´s just one model, that´s it.

Also, please excuse that this post looks pretty

shitty, as I am using Merles laptop that doesn´t have

Firefox (or whatever the reason), so, meh.

So, hopefully I will be able to buy it Monday or Tuesday, and that´s

the time I should be able to make new posts. Maybe I´ll use my newly

registered Worpress account. Let´s see. Until then!
