Vanago Madness
I saw Vanessa today! Hoo-ray!
I was wrong to doubt her friendship. I walked her to class, or at least partway.
1 Week before my first circuits exam. I need to get my ass in gear.
And its what I'm going to be doing after work all this week. And I'm working 10 hour days.
I'm excited that payday is coming so soon. I will be able to pay off everything I owe my roommate, and I will be able to give Pitt some of its money. Grr....damn tutition.
Well, if I didn't have to spend money on tutition here's what I would buy:
A 1.0GHz processor upgrade for my trusty old B&W Mac.
And because a fast processor is only good with fast I/O to back it up, A Serial ATA card with RAID array options which I would pack with 10000RPM drives. And I would max out the RAM on this little chipper to 1GB.
And I would want this for the graphics department
I know its definitely crazy to spend all that money on upgrades. Their combined cost totals more then what I paid for this thing on Ebay. But its still cheaper then a G5. I guess its more a point of honor then anything. I want to push envelope with this machine. I'm sick of hearing the tired old line of "You can't upgrade Macs". Mac Towers can be upgraded as much as any old PC. And while it costs more money then I spent on this old clunker, its my money, and I'm going to have plenty in 3 or 4 months, and this stuff will come down in price in the time being.
And now i have something to look forward to besides using my paychecks to pay off bills. And I gotta sleep. Peace.
