Which OS Are You?
BBspot – Which OS are you? Yet another “Which __ are you?” style quiz. I added it to my short list of similar quizzes that I found to be somewhat less than a complete waste of time. I am Slackware Linux.
Powerbook Lust Sated
My lust for the Apple Powerbook was sated today when a box showed up at my front door today containing a 1 GHz, 1 GB, SuperDrive, 15.2 inch TiBook.
