Hey. New board.
I remember my Apple II and the fire that destroyed it. The one after that was.... some sort of PC running DOS. Mostly, I played Lemmings on it. Then we got a Pentium 90, several years later, with Windows 3.11. I installed Windows '95 on it myself, which was a nightmare, but it looked SO COOL when I finished. I was like "Check it out, it's got clouds!" I learned qbasic on that computer. At the time, I thought I was hot stuff for being able to easily change the background. But something about Windows 95 tempted me to more powerful computer whizziness, and 3 years later i had my own Linux/BeOS box. So... yeah.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Mmm...Lemmings. Loved that game. Not that I was that good at it.

Juliebird, did you fix your itunes problems?
le nubian, no, I haven't had a chance yet. Went out of town for a few days. I got as far as backing up the associated files, but when I went to uninstall, I discovered a new twist: apparently I am not the administrater of this laptop, even though I totally am, and there are no other profiles on this computer, and profile settings says I totally am, and also I installed iTunes, so why the heck can't I uninstall it? F*cking Geeksquad... shouldn't have let them "set up" my new and already broken toy... *grumblegrumble*

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Good times, man, good times.
Slow, but good.

Coding and Sleeping
My first computer had 16k of memory, a cassette drive, and membrane keyboard. I was in middle school at the time so I mostly used it for playing and writing games.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
