I won't forget about college. But that doesn't mean I won't still <i>consider</i> getting a laptop. ;) It would be useful for my work after all... Spare moments <i>are</i> few and far between, but perhaps I'll check ubuntu out sometime. I don't know why I'm wary of it, but... I am. And you should start your own blog. It's fun! Just make sure to send me a link to it if you do. :) You’re right, of course. I won’t forget about college.

It really wasn't even that much harder than installing Windows. http://ubuntulinux.org Pssh, now you've gotten me all inspired to start my own blog :P Don’t forget about college! ;)

That's <i>WHY</i> I want to save money! :D <i>So I can buy a MacBook</i>. ;) That's not the only reason, of course, but it's a tempting one... Linux is too hardcore for me I think. But whatever floats your boat. :) Lol, Ian. That’s WHY I want to save money! :D So I can buy a MacBook. ;) That’s not the only reason, of course, but it’s a tempting one…

Seriously. :) Didn’t I just hear you say tonight that you were trying to “save money”? ;)

And yeah, Windows 2000 may not have some of XP's bells and whistles, but it's solid as a rock. Also, I wouldn't mind having to reboot for Sims 2, as it's not the sort of thing I access that often. For something like Photoshop, however, I really would still need to get a Mac version. :-/ For the work I do I couldn't be rebooting every time I needed to use Photoshop. :-p Jason - I actually did know about the Mac version of Sims 2, but forgive me if I am a little bit skeptical about its quality. The fact is, the Sims 2 is a buggy program, even on Windows--I can only imagine what it's like after someone has pulled it apart and put it back together to work on a different OS. But, conveniently, if I got a MacBook I would want to install XP for other reasons, and being able to play the copy of Sims 2 I already own would be a bonus. ;) Thanks for the info, though. :) James - Hey, don't worry about it. I appreciate your concern over your tone, but as Phil said, your suggestions are good ones. I very well might do that... as it would not mean that I had to wait till January to buy my MacBook. :-D Thanks everyone! :) Cameron - I wasn’t thinking of anyone in paticular… really! :-D
