Well, I've been quiet for a while.

To be honest, I've been busy (and I'm not sure how many people actually read this page anyway.) I've had a new job start up, which forces me up at 3 AM (if I'm able...) to drive an hour to Portland. Half the day on the phone with people, half the day recovering in email. Still, it's something I know, and am good at. The joy of tech support.

Still, it's not bad. Decent pay, though not the highest I've gotten (overtime about matches - eh, beats by a few cents - the pay I got at Veritas.) And it's the first real work I've had in two years.

And somehow, I've become the Mac man. Anyone has Mac questions, they ask me. This is funny, since - until today - the newest Mac I've had access to is a Quadra 840A/v. OSX? It can't run anything newer than 8.1. But I like the Mac, and read up on them constantly.

Well, today, I got my beige G3 minitower. Yes, there are newer ones out there. No, it can't run Panther (without help.) Yet it has 10.2 on it, a third party graphics card, a CD burner, a USB card - all stuff that, like RAM, I'd have to add (came with 256 Mb.) Not bad for $130+shipping, I think.

All I can say is that OS X is a very "happy" OS. No, not "gay," since modern slang usage has made even the moronic use of the word even more rediculous. Happy as in "Hi, how are you? Got an app to run? OK, let's go! It'll be fun!"

And you know what... it is.

Macs rock.
