Mac attack

After another system crash (because Im cramming a lot of stuff on a 30gb drive on a 4 year old machine).

JPennant: gotta replace the drive soon
McClint: which drive?
JPennant: hard drive in the iMac
McClint: you might just have to look toward investing in a new (or semi-new) mac
JPennant: I am, im keeping an eye out for a G4 iMac
JPennant: If I get a g4 desktop, Im gonna have to get a flat screen
JPennant: cheaper than getting a g4 imac, I guess
McClint: yeah could be
JPennant: (dont want a big machine)
JPennant: small space, japanese style, yanno? :-)
McClint: hehehe then a Mac Mini might be in your future
JPennant: doesnt excite me
JPennant: neither does a G5 iMac
JPennant: To me, there is something off about the G5 imac
JPennant: the mini mac too
JPennant: design wise that is
McClint: but they are perfect for your Japanese style living
JPennant: yeah, I know - but theyre not pretty enough
McClint: well if you get a G4, it'll just sit under your desk where you cant see it anyway :-)
JPennant: I had a client, big time photographer. He wouldnt allow me to put ANY piece of equipment in his studio that wasnt stylish.
JPennant: I was like "Dude, c'mon - you just need equipment that works", but he was adamant about that
McClint: heheheh
JPennant: He had models as staff and assistants, to show how serious he was about that :-)
JPennant: But now.. Im understanding his mentality.


JPennant: Hey, have you ever had your Powerbook crash?
Glinessa: yep...once
Glinessa: and only once
JPennant: heh.
JPennant: Just reading the new Apple Switch campaign...
Glinessa: ok?
JPennant: http://www.apple.com/switch/

JPennant: Want a crash course on the Mac? Lesson 1: It doesn?t crash. Built by the same folks who designed its rock-solid operating system and its award-winning applications, the Mac always starts up and never lets you down.
JPennant: As a tech, I gotta laugh :-)
JPennant: It crashes less than Windows, yes
JPennant: but never crashes? Ha. :-)
Glinessa: yeah...that's definitely not true
Glinessa: all computers crash
JPennant: yup
Glinessa: that's just wrong...lol
JPennant: They had gotten away from saying "It just works" over th last coupla years, but now theyre back on it :-)
Glinessa: lol
Glinessa: i believe in being simple and it just works works for me
JPennant: yup
JPennant: I cant wait for when I can run both windows and mac on the same machine.
Glinessa: hahaha...that is coming soon right?
JPennant: next year and two.
Glinessa: ok
JPennant: until then..
Glinessa: lol
