Midwich, Ohio


CANTON, Ohio -- There are 490 female students at Timken High School, and 65 are pregnant, according to a recent report in the Canton Repository.
The article reported that some would say that movies, TV, videogames, lazy parents and lax discipline may all be to blame.
School officials are not sure what has caused so many pregnancies ...

every sentence a gem:
There are 490 female students at Timken High School, and 65 are pregnant ...
65 out of 490: that’s 13% or one out of seven.

... that movies, TV, videogames, lazy parents and lax discipline may all be to blame.

movies?
TV?
videogames?
lazy parents?
lax discipline?

I was under the impression that sex would get you pregnant. Probably different in Ohio.

School officials are not sure what has caused so many pregnancies

or is it not?

damn you apple!

Apple

ok,
the iBook is broken. Will ship it back, took images of it before. I heard enough stories and experienced a few where machines came back scratched.

I could get my original 15 inch back. Thanks, Method!
There are two problems with that: I could switch ok from the 15″ PB G4 to the 12″ iBook with 100GB and two fingered trackpad

The two finger trackpad is something that you miss even after only a few days. Hence the title of this post: Damn you Apple for inventing things that you really never want to be without anymore.

Of course, now that I am typing this, and the keyboard glows under my fingers again, I do have second thoughts if the iBook G4 was the right decission.

Well, let’s say it has to be.

iBook as in broken

Apple misc

After four nice days the GFX card in the brand new iBook died: The lower third of the screen is covered in vertical stripes. Probably some gfx memory issue.
On hold with Apple. 15 minutes of bad music ahead of me. Sigh.
I hope they just replace the graphics card while I wait. I need those 100GB of harddrive.
And it took me 4 hours to get them transfered to this machine. The official Apple Transfer was showing
me two hours of random progress bars. However in the end it had nothing out of my home directory transfered.
I can not believe that it takes fifteen minutes to get support from Apple. I paid 200 US$ “Apple Care”.
Ok, my gfx card can break in 3 years as well for this kind of money. Still.

goodbye

second post from the iBook

Apple

the first one fell victim to safari (?)
Don’t want to use firefox yet. Copying content over from the old machine manually.

Apples “Transferring Files” failed dismally. 2 hours of erratic progress bar for nothing.
Lame

it has arrived

Apple

I could have gotten it cheaper but then again, maybe not.

The stampede should be a wake up call to the Apple marketing department. How cheap can they make the iBook?
Would people care if they have a G4 with less than a gigHz and ‘only’ 40GB HD ??
Once OS X get’s unbloated it might even work with 128MB RAM.
How cheap is cheap?
