And don't pay Apple to max out the memory, because they overcharge for it; buy your memory from somewhere like Small Dog or NewEgg and install it yourself.
(Wait. It's been 4 years since I last bought a Mac; is that still true?)
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Unfortunately, if you're buying a recent vintage Mac Mini, the RAM is not upgradeable.

Damn you, Apple. It wasn't upgradeable in my MBP, either (and while my husband lives his life by the motto "If you can't open it, you don't own it" and tries to void every warranty he can, I would prefer not opening up a laptop that Apple doesn't want me to open).
But seriously, the Minis can't be opened now, either? Bullshit, Apple. Upgrading memory is fun!
...I may need a new hobby.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My cable/internet is provided by a group deal via my landlord, so I couldn't change service providers if I wanted to.
Same, but the deal is good. I love having cable! I realize I could do all the same stuff with TiVo and Hulu and Netflix and whatever, but I like my DVR and On Demand! I am lazy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I like my DVR and On Demand! I am lazy.
me too...
I like being able to record the shows I want to watch and then watch them whenever I want without having to download anything or try to find where to stream them, or not be able to FF through commercials and ads. I was listening to Pandora yesterday and it interrupted my reverie about every five songs with an ad. Jeepers, I would rather pay for it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My TiVo is key, that I agree with, but it costs way less than cable and I have enough network shows that I watch, I can supplement with Netflix and catching up on old seasons of the premium cable shows.

All right. I need to go find the room I'm interviewing in, and once that's done, I can send a thank you email and then go home.
