It is so amazing to me that two people can live together for 44 years, get along fantastically, have a blast together continually, and not understand half of what the other is saying. Venus-Mars, way too close together - should be Men are from Earth / Women from the Romulan Nebuli.

Fact of life is that Apples are just playing the part of Beta to the real PC's. I love the latest defense of Apples - Tomey says - "But Dad, now you can install Windows on the Apples" I love that. If Apples are so great, why are they stealing the Windows systems?

But the real problem is this - regardless of what my Darling wife says. My laptop is ten years old - it has earned the right to get sick once in a while. So it caught a bug - the real problem was the medication I gave it.

Let me explain. It caught a virus (Swine Flu I think). I took it to the doctor and he replaced the Windows system (gave it a brain transplant) and told me it was as good as new. So it was for about three months. Then it's whole personality changed, started acting strange - sound familiar? Wouldn't let me work on the Blog. Then it started begging me to save it - it began to write to me "I am being poisoned - that quack Doctor gave me an Apple for a Brain." Turns out it was right. I took it back in yesterday and found that they did not install a new Brain, they installed a pirated, illegal, fake brain (probably one they took out of a spoiled Apple).

Turns out that down here it is common practice. Course I should have gotten suspicious originally when the bill for replacing the Windows system was $30. (Ok I was a little slow in not picking up on that.) Seems that almost everything here is pirated - there are no copyright laws in Bolivia, just as there are no liquor laws, and no pharmacy laws.

Good and Bad as usual. I was watching the new Wolverine movie on a disc in my home months before it appeared in theaters in the states. The guy again reinstalled a Windows system in my poor, sick computer, making it "good as new" and didn't charge me anything. Turns out the Blog problem is something else entirely - I am at work early doing this..

Ok, yell at me for buying pirated items. Jody did too, but she wanted the Wolverine Disc. Yes, those of you who are yelling, remember that I will be watching the new Harry Potter months before you can go see it in theaters.

Got to get to work

I use Apple and PC equally. It depends upon what you're doing. I play on my Apple and work on my PC. Of course, I do both of these from my Macbook. ;)

Woos, you are just afraid to take sides!!! How is everything going, Carl is thinking he was to settle in San Antonio now, right in the middle of Jody and Tomey. I am think the French Riviera, probably NOT!
