haha, thanks for the "help" man :D To be honest, I have been using computers for an uncommonly long time... when I was in my teens I was all over PC stuff and inter webs and whatnot... but because Im old school I just reached a point where I was so sick and tired of PC errors, web viruses (probably from MIRC and Napster and crap), troubleshooting problems, reinstalling friggin widows, cutting edge hardware that developed no software support- (text boxiest went blank again, awesome, Im typing blind).. anyways, I just got fed up with it and stopped using computers or any tech for like 2 years. Then I got a mac because you just hit that power button and thats it... when shit got busted I took it into apple and let them deal with it while I ate food. Anyways, I have been thinking about building a power PC for database stuff I am starting to do for Economics (I discovered Mac is no good for that... in fact, if you want to do proper spreadsheets, excel for mac sucks)... but I dunno, I still like the Mac for a laptop... clearly not pas perfect nd hassle free as I wanted.... ahh well. I don't own an iPhone though, so maybe we can still be buddies? (yay, screen came back when I typed that "?")
