Fakebook?

Okay, so like many other "adults" I've discovered Facebook (and LinkedIn, too, but that's another story for a different day). I think it's fun, and maybe it does make me feel like a young person again. But I was really surprised by the Op-Ed piece in this Saturday's New York Times The Fakebook Generation. I didn't realize that my idea of fun would be someone else's idea of, well, comedy, entertainment, distraction.

iMacs

Last spring I spilled a glass of water on my iMac keyboard at the office. I know, I know-I shouldn't have been drinking water near my keyboard, but in 20+ years I've never spilled anything on it.

So that was that-the keyboard was shot. I went to Tekserve, the wonderful Mac guys on 23rd Street in New York City, and got a new keyboard for $31 and change. I'll order Mac OS 10.4, Tiger, and my five year old iMac at the office will be "just like new." I'll bet that sucker will last another year.

All that power for around $2000. Hard to believe, isn't it?
