So, I was browsing Apple.com as I often find myself doing and noted that Tiger is finally being released on April 29th and it’s looking great.

I’m trying very hard to find a way to justify a Powerbook but they’re so expensive. I could buy a heathen laptop and a lesser mac and still have a ton of cash left in my pocket. *ponders* I guess the big issue for me is that I really want to move to a laptop and be done with it. What I don’t want to do is decide to get an iBook (still pricey) and then regret not having bought a Powerbook. I figure you should always get what you want and be happy. When my MP3 player died I looked at an iPod and thought it was too much money so I got a flash player. 3 months later I bought an iPod and have never been so happy with a toy.

I was surprised to find that my BCIT student ID qualifies me for Apple’s student discount. Not a huge discount mind you but enough to just about cover the cost of my course which sort of makes it all worthwhile. *justifying*

I’ve slowly been cutting back on the number of machines I use and now could easily ‘make do’ with a laptop. My fileserver, which is really just a repository, could easily be replaced with an external HD. There’s a ton of crap on there that I’ll never use again; Windows NT, old versions of Partition Magic and tons of other, obsolete software.

Whatever, even if I decide to get one, it’ll be a while before I actually do it. If you haven’t already, it’s time to hit Windows Update after a number of patches were released on Tuesday.
