<---- This is the POS computer I am using right now at home. That's right: a Compaq Presario desktop running Windows ME as the operating system. This is a stock photo, but the PC I'm currently using is even the same color accessory package (except I've added a 3-piece Altec powered speaker system). When I say POS, I don't mean Point Of Sale. I think Stevie from the hit TV show Malcom In The Middle runs faster than my computer! I was going to totally revamp my entire MySpace page tonight, but it took almost two minutes to load the Page Editor website, so I gave up. This computer was pretty kickass way back in '99 when it was brand new. I don't know if you have noticed, but a lot has changed with computers in the last eight years!!!
All that's about to change, though. We are turning a corner here, people! In the next couple of weeks, I will be making the second biggest Life Decision I've made so far (being second to asking Gina to marry me):
I Am Getting A Mac.
That's right: I'm getting us a brand new, state-of-the-art iMac that Brent's going to help me pimp out even more with a ton more ram before I even take the thing home. Am I scared? Sure I am! I've been a PC guy my whole life and all I know about apples is thay they taste good with peanut butter. Okay, if I'm going to be a real MacHead I've got to stop making jokes like that. Seriously, I'm really pumped. After the baby is born Gina wants to get back into photography - both manual and digital - and I want to get into more sound and video recording/editing, so an iMac is the perfect choice. Dual processors, either 3 or 4 gigs of ram, a huge video card...I'm even going to buy a cable signal booster for my cable modem so it can keep up with the iMac.
Here's the bummer: word on the street is that the NEW version of the iMac is supposed to drop sometime in early August. If not then, the newest version of the OS is supposed to come out in September. I might be able to wait a couple of weeks for the newest complete system, but there is no WAY I can wait until September for the new OS! That's like telling a kid when the next Christmas will be on December 26th. Lame.
In any case, the new Computer is on the way and research starts now. Be prepaired, o ye of Bloggerdom, to be dazzled and awestruck by my Blogger and MySpace awesomeness once the new System is purchased.......and I figure out how to use it.
Bask in the glory of the coming Alexander iMac!
ps - did you see Hells Kitchen tonight? Jen?? Sucks to be her. Rock is going to win.

Just as long as you don't become one of the Mac pricks that refuses to admit that PCs have their strengths as well. New compies are fun though.
Oh, no - PC still has it's high points. It's just that for what the G and I need a compie for, Mac is the Top Dog. I still use a windows-based PC platform for work :)
if Rock wins, can we please ask if Gordon can smell what Rock is cookin? Please?
