VIRGO

According to the planets you are now very close to making a success of something you nearly gave up on just a short time ago.
Stick with it just a little bit longer and before the Sun leaves your birth sign at the weekend you will be celebrating a remarkable success.

Remember: Earth signs never give up.

No, we dont.

User vs Mechanic.

Most professional mechanics I know dont drive fancy cars for their daily use.

They'll pick a car that will get them back and forth and they hardly ever screw around with it.

Ive kinda lived by that philosophy. I may have used and worked on a diverse variety of machines, Ive only actually owned a small number and variety of computers.

So, even though Ive owned a Mac before (A PowerComputing clone) - I never actually used it 24-7.

In fact, the last mac I used on a daily basis was back in 96 - a 6100/100 at my cubicle @ AOL.

Heh. Back then I really hacked the Mac. :-)

In fact, that was a personal sore point. I never really had time to enjoy the machines I used - because i was always working On Other Peoples Shytte. Ive assembled, troubleshot, upgraded, tweaked, jury-rigged everything from Mac Performas to Dual G4's.

Now, Im a mere user again. Its a wholly different perspective.

Back in the day, I grew to like the Mac because it was both useful and entertaining. Part of the fun of Macs is personalizing it to your own taste.

Im re-acclimitizing (sic? madeupword?) to being a Mac user now (instead of being a Mac admin), and its been rough. This Mac has been on the incompetent side of useful and far from entertaining.

One of my favorite little Mac apps was a smiley face, that I could shred, beat and mutilate in all sorts of different ways.
It was called Smile:The Splattering and Ive always recalled it with fondness.
Heh. Lowered my blood pressure daily just hearing the roar of the blender and plaintive screams of the smiley face. Hehehe.

Oi would wager to say that it was the memory of the little proggie (and because I couldnt find a PC version), that made me have such a fondness fer Macs in general.

Took me awhile to find a copy of this old program ... but .. thanks to the efficiency of the germans who keep EVERYTHING.... heheheheh...

* whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinne*

Ah yes.

Good Times. :-)

Per request, on the 20th anniversary of the smiley emoticon.. a way to feel better by taking it out on the smiley face.

Dont bother sending money to unlock the full program. The guy is no longer supporting it.



Smile is a fictional character that cant really be harmed. Any resemblance to anyone living or dead is purely irritional.

G'head. You'll feel better. :-)
