Last Thurs I have made the biggest investment in my life - I have ordered a Mac, the machine of my dreams. It is a PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8 Ghz. But I was not so lucky as the low low price I was quoted was no longer applicable due to Apple's increasing of the cost price for resellers. So I made some changes to my configuration as I wanted a custom built machine (not alot actually)

Initially I wanted a PMac Dualie 1.8 with an upgrade in the video card (ATI 9600 128MB RAM) but due to the increase in cost price, this configuration is over $200 more expensive! So I did some calculations and decide to stick to the default card ( a Nvidia Geforce 5200 Ultra with 64 MB RAM). I was told that even with the better card, I will not be seeing alot of performance boosts except in games. The other option remains which is to remove the 56K modem. $50 off leh!!! Still overall, the price is abit more expensive than my original config. I also added an extra 1GB of RAM as advised on a G5 support forum. I thought of adding only 256 more to make it 512 but dun think it will compliment the PowerMac performance. So now, a total of 1.25GB RAM. WHAHHAAH

Total damage = $3850 -_-

The aftermaths of the killer tsunami is still shocking. The pychological damage done to the homeless children and adults is something we probably will not comprehend. Yet in Singapore, there are some people who deserve a spit, pee and shit on their faces. These are the educated or well-to-do ( IMO) who donated stuff like old curtains, dirty underwear, dentures to the "needy". Since when these victims need curtains? They have no more homes to put the curtains! These curtains are laden with cockroaches' egg sags somemore. What abt dentures? These people dun have enough food to chew on. Dentures for fcuk? Maybe these people are thinking that the dirty underwear can be used as filters for their drinking water.

Worse still, there are some animals who are making use of this to make money. Beware of anyone going ard to raise funds for the tsunami victims with donation cans. If anyone wanna make a donation, just make a call or sms to the respective mobile operators. It is much much safer and faster.

--Lastly, I can't wait for my PowerMac to arrive at my doorstep!!!!!!! WHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHaaa...next target is a 20 inch Apple Cinema Display which jut recently have a $500 price cut for their 20 inch models.

For those people struggling with viruese,spyware,adware,malware,Trojans. Just get an iMac or an eMac or for performance nuts, a PowerMac. For those on the road, an iBook or Powerbook. Mac OS X Panther is probably one of the best OS for personal computing. Beautiful,stable (Unix based), secure and easy to use. Some people are concerned abt if they make the switch, what will happen to their MS Office documents, well, there is a MS Office for the Mac. For the creative even better, all Adobe,Macromedia and major graphics and 3D applications run on Mac. why not????

If anyone thinks a Mac is more expensive. Think again. A top end PMac G5 Dual 2.5 with dual 30 inch lcd panels + ipod is only $30k+++ Try configuring something similar from Dell and you have a machine which will cost u $70k. What's more is that the G5 processor is a true 64bit while the Dell is using a Intel Xeon 32bit. $70k+ for a dual Xeon processor???

There's nothing wrong with the normal PC hardware like Intel,AMD blah blah. It is the software / operating system which is causing the problems. Yes, that's M$ which makes crappy OS like Windows which does not operate well, prone to virues,hacks,freezes. There is one big convention where Mr Gates was demostrating the new Win XP Home Media edition. Guess what? While the software was trying to access pictures from a yet-to-be released Nikon digicam, it gives the trademark blue screen. Another event which happened is during a game demo, the game froze and says out of system memory. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA~~~
