Technology Depression and Blog Love.

I want a MacBook Pro, but it's not happening. The main programs that I use: FileMaker Pro, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Microsoft Office all have to run in emulation on the new Macs, which means "slow." And the Macromedia and Adobe products might not be updated to Universal Binary status for another year. Or more.

So, I can't justify a $2,500 MacBook purchase when, even though the new machines have 4-5X the raw processing power, my programs will crawl until native updates come out. Drag.

Switching topics: after being away for a week, it's so funny how happy I am to scroll through my little blogroll and see what people are up to. But hell, if I can't have the Zubes over for dinner, and if ITS from Digital Objective insists on staying in Montreal instead of getting his sorry ass back to NYC where he belongs, well, I'll just keep on reading.

Love to all. Even you, the folks I don't mention because it's maritally inappropriate.

Glad you made it home in one piece. Barely. ;-)

Getting home was NUTS. I-91 was closed, then Route 5 was closed, it was snowing like crazy. I witnessed my second series-of-accidents this winter. Ick.

The funny thing was, once we crossed into NY, it was dry and relatively warm. Like a different country.

Am I to assume that I am maritally inappropriate?

Lisa said...

I'm glad you asked, Vic. I was afraid to.

Oh, you just KNOW that the one time I post a link to either of you two, it's the one time per year Maggie reads my blog, and she either sees Lisa, the attractive divorced mom, or Vic, who puts up special HNT posts.

I'd be a dead man, innocent or not.

A dead man!

Of course, I just realized that, duh, you're on my blogroll. And that the Love to all comment is just as incriminating, and that IM NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG ANYWAY!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Somebody got himself all flustered!

Its so cute that you were worried. Your wife is a lucky woman and she of course has nothing to worry about. That is very, very clear.
