Me,Myself and Irene. I think Jim Carrey was great in portraiting that tragic character. I do wonder to myself if I am like that person too - someone with a split personality. There are times I will feel normal and sometimes not so. I can simply snap when something provoke me and I can go out of control.

Like this evening while watching TV and munching on a packet of nice wafer cubes, my neighbour spray the foul smelling insecticide which spoil my enjoyment of the wafers, I got so pissed that I went to close the door forcefully. Feeling it was not enough to let them noe my anger, I opened the door again and slammed it really hard. I opened the door again and scolded them. Aint that similar? Am I a schizo?

Of course there are countless times I will snap at my mum for her non-stop nagging which is prob the catalyst. Anyway, it does not feel good.

These few days I am totally engrossed in PowerMac G5 and I even borrowed a book on OSX 10.2 Jaguar. Currently the latest version is OSX 10.3 Panther while the upcoming one is Tiger. All these different versions are more or less upgrades from the original OSX. Something like Win95 - Win98 - WinME. Anyway, Win98 and ME are simply crap OS which should nv be sold.

Being an Wintel user so long, I am too embedded into the peecee world and I realised Mac users are of a different league. For one, they do not upgrade so often like peecee users. Well more often they will up their RAM or HDD, while peecee users will change DVDROM, DVDWriters to diff speed,models but I think Mac users are not???

Anyway, Mac systems are beautiful and funtional. That's why it has its own "cult" of faithful followers and of cos more to come for those who can afford a Mac system. Most pple will think Macs are expensive, they certainly are not cheap if u only see the PowerMac series. PowerMacs are equalivent to high end workstations in the peecee arena. Powerbooks are the like the desktop replacement/Centrinos for the laptops. ibooks (G4) are normal lappies. A entry iBook is ard $1.8K, a normal laptop with Centrino will cost u $2-3K and will get obselete in 2 yrs time. Anyway, no one shld settle less than a Centrino for laptops. The rest of the chips like Celeron M cannot make it. I have seen people using G3 ibook and they r still running like new.

iPod is nothing that the rest of the world can come up with except mutated clones. To me, anyone who does not like an iPod is a peasant.

Apple unlike Intel/AMD do not come with a whole truck load of different chips to monopolise the market and confuse consumers. For the P4, there are A,B,C,E series. Each are different generations with different bus/clock speeds/cache memory. Just for the E series/Prescott, there are 2 different kinds of sockets. These chips run like ovens n their heat sink sound like jet engines. If this is not enough, Intel also made a EE series, Extreme Edition with a 2MB cache, mainly for the gaming market. Not to forget the workstation/servers, Intel has Xeon,Xeon MP,Itanium Itanium 2. AMD has more confusing chips as well, AMD Athlon 64, Athlon XP, Athlon 64FX, Sempron,Opterons,Athlon MP........so which is which?

Apple has G3, G4,G5. Main difference is that the G5 is a 64bit. The G chips from Apple can run on their Powermac, portables, and servers. Isn't this a great product? What for creating so many chips for so many things??

Another thing is Intel and AMD run on mostly on Windows=security flaws=virus attacks=trojan attacks=prgm crashes including built in stuff like Windows Explorer=freezeups=expensive.

OSX=stability=fast=great looking,cheap(half price of WINXP PRO) no nonsense like Pro version, home version, Media Center version,Jpn,Chinese,English,German versions.

I hope I can save enuff soon to get a PoweMac hehehehe.
