Commodore 64 reincarnated in laptop form
The build uses a genuine 'C64C' motherboard, along with a gamecube power supply and SD card doing its best floppy disk impersonation. But I'm guessing that vintage keyboard feel is the best part!

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That is AWESOME. I kind of want one!

So Apple sent me an e-mail, being a MobileMe subscriber, offering me $30 off a Time Capsule, and $30 off Leopard. I'm tempted. Then I see that I could get a refurbed Time Capsule that is $40 off. And now I'm wondering, what apps I would need to upgrade to work in 10.5.x, and how much that would cost.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I didn't have anything that worked in 10.4 and didn't work in 10.5 (it tends to go the other way, that apps won't work on an *earlier* version) -- but if you have anything that's both expensive and work-critical, you should obviously check carefully first.

Ya, I realize the bulk of what I do on my home machine is: Internet, chat, Skype, EyeTV, videos, iTunes, e-mail. When the HD crashed last year, I didn't re-install the work apps, as I have a laptop provided from work. So, I've been thinking about it. It's just money. Do I *need* to upgrade? Or should I save the cash to try and get that trike?

Adult sized tricycle. I don't have the balance for bicycle.

Huh. I've never considered that as an exercise option, but I really should.
