After my disappointing experience with the iMac and the cult of Steve, I decided to return to somewhat familiar territory in buying my next computer. I finally ended up ordering a Dell Dimension 9200 online, and although it was my first time buying a Dell, I have to say I was pretty impressed with both [...]
I’m back. You know, I really hate neglecting a blog, even when it’s beyond my control and not many people are reading it to begin with. I guess I have commitment issues, just the opposite kind you usually hear about. Crunch mode kicked in at work over the past few weeks, so not only did [...]
