there are time i really, really, really, hate microsoft.

and others when i just have problems with mr gates.

right now, i despise the stupid, stupid, stupid 'feature' of windows that steals focus away whenever windows deems fit. just because i've opened a new window, or and application has finished doing something, windows gives that process the focus. stupid. so, you're typing away - say a password or a message in a message window - and another window has finished loading the webpage (finally) ... so focus goes there. stupid. stupid. stupid.

bwaaggh!

win xp sure is pretty, but does it have to come with so much junk? and why can't i set things the way i like and have them stay that way. and if its such a good os, why oh why are they still trying to get the file system to work properly. and the memory management. and the ...

i wonder if i could afford all the software that comes with xp on a new pc if i had to pay for each piece? probably not.

'word up' is correct but dated. 'word' all by its lonesome is slightly hipper but not much. i believe the most up-to-date term for that is 'fo shizzle', but i'm not sure what it means exactly.

your mac might come with fries but thanks to other tort lawsuits, they won't be supersized.

ms makes so much money from corporate licensing that the pricing for domestic software is almost an after-thought ... what will people pay? for xp 'upgrade' we pay about au$160.

damn, woman. just when i thought i was getting groovy, you go and take me down! 8D [the slang at the school is still a mystery to me at this point, so i don't even try to use it.]

some earlier models of the g3 series laptops were able to fry food on their case after running for a while. luckily, apple figured they ought to fix that pronto! 8D
