The Hardware Carrot
I am not your typical college student.
Aside from spending my money on Caffeine and technological addictions (NintendoDS anybody?) I haven't spent a cent on alcohol. No no my readers, I spend my cash on hardware, more specifically for my PowerMac. I am not a rich man, I spend less than a day a week working (total hours, thanks kindly) to live in comfort (soon to be a bigger space) So when I decide the spend my "hard earned" money on technology, it better last me longer than 3 months.
Apple has released their nice bits of technology, further making my 533mhz machine seem even more ancient than it is. Thankfully I'm happy with what I have, and until there comes a time I actually need a more powerful macintosh, I'll keep my Powermac for a year more.
Who said playing it old school wasn't fun?
Oh, before I go, World of warcraft IS playable, albeit choppy on a 533, if you have enough video ram.
That's the news, for today at least.`
