If you say that word out loud it sounds like an awesome way of saying "Incredible." Seriously.

The following blog is an explanation for my mulling of the Mac platform. My venom is like a river.

-I'm in the market for a very expensive laptop. Macs are very expensive laptops.

-I can rent one instead of this PC (more on this later) for no extra cost, and if I want to buy one by the end of my college career then I get major discounts thanks to being in college (Macbook Pro: 13 inch low-end for $1100).

-I am so sick of using two operating systems. I have Ubuntu because Windows is so bad, and Windows does stuff I cannot live without (iTunes, printing on campus, etc, lol, rofl). So instead of using one good and one bad, maybe I should learn how to use Mac OS X and ditch the bad!

-I mulled it over and realized that I don't need to game on the PC. Aside from StarCraft and Diablo II, of course. Wink wink.

-Macs are pretty.

-God, I hate this Toshiba I have. It is a Toshiba Tecra R10. Click on the link. I know you won't, but I'll keep talking as if you did.

Lighting round as follows:

*Battery life sucks (four hours with pretty much everything off, like wi-fi and cd drive, less than two otherwise)

*DVD drive sucks (replaced twice already and still doesn't work well)

*Keyboard sucks (right shift key stopped working after a month)

*Little dip used for scrolling wheel on a mouse sucks

*Graphics card sucks (GeForce Quadro 150M, roughly equal to a nastly GeForce 8400 - the Mac is much better)

*Webcam sucks (Microphone doesn't, as you may know)

*It looks terrible

*It has a very odd weight distribution so it's hard to carry horizontally

*It's the least durable piece of technology I've ever had

*The fans, when they kick in, are noisy as hell

-Vista sucks. 7 isn't any better.

-Vista alone sucks. Vista messed with by this POS university is even worse. Games run slowly, crashes occur every so often, and it takes five minutes to boot. Ubuntu has none of these issues.

-I'm still not done. You just can't make Vista minimal. I've tried. It's impossible. I hate cluttered desktops and systems, and Vista is cluttered by design. So is Windows 7. They're all terrible for someone like me. They complicate everything and it's a pain to use.

So within the next few months I'm going up to the Twin Cities to chill in the Mall of America. I'll waltz into the Apple store and check out the new Macbook (which is what I'll be renting in the next two years). I'll pick it up, check its weight, feel how strong it is, use it for a while, see how Mac OS X works on the thing, and maybe even talk to someone about how to use OS X effeciently.

If I like what I see, I'll sign up for the Macbook and wait.

If not, then who knows what I'll do. Panic?

I'll laos try out the iPod Touch and the new Nano video camera and all kinds of stuff.

Games:

MGS3.

That scene where Volgen nuked off the old laboratory? Awesome.

That movie where Boss shot the rocket thing Snake arrived in? Awesome.

The gameplay? Awesome.

I had some free time yesterday morning, so I sta around and ate some leftover fish while playing MGS3. I felt like I was eating something jungle-ish and exotic.
