Programmer teeshirt I saw,
Code warrior, Perl is poetry.Me I just say RTFM.
Poetry began when Adam started to name things. (a quote I saw once don't shoot me).
Neruda has a poem on poetry,Poetry
And it was at that age ... Poetry arrived
in search of me. I don't know, I don't know where
it came from, from winter or a river.
I don't know how or when,
no they were not voices, they were not
words, nor silence,
but from a street I was summoned,
from the branches of night,
abruptly from the others,
among violent fires
or returning alone,
there I was without a face
and it touched me.I did not know what to say, my mouth
had no way
with names,
my eyes were blind,
and something started in my soul,
fever or forgotten wings,
and I made my own way,
deciphering
that fire,
and I wrote the first faint line,
faint, without substance, pure
nonsense,
pure wisdom
of someone who knows nothing,
and suddenly I saw
the heavens
unfastened
and open,
planets,
palpitating plantations,
shadow perforated,
riddled
with arrows, fire and flowers,
the winding night, the universe.And I, infinitesimal being,
drunk with the great starry
void,
likeness, image of
mystery,
felt myself a pure part
of the abyss,
I wheeled with the stars,
my heart broke loose on the wind.Pablo Neruda

It is in the nature of small isles to divide themselves least we become too close...in this way Maori meets Pakeha was foretold.

Try doing that nifty trick with yo 'Doz box!

Plus, if your friends come around, you can't show them the programmes you've time-shifted off the telly.
Now that would be one enchanted evening...

I have a 2001 IBook G3 (500mhz) running OSX.2, OS9 and Office for Mac, it runs beautifully, not just well, beautifully and I run InDesign and Photoshop. My Shuffle works beautifully as well, synced into my car cassette player!
I have only replaced a battery, upped the RAM and got a bigger hard drive, all easy to do. I leave it on all the time.
I'm a TW so I have PC"s at work. I'm waiting for Leopard so I can hotswap Vista and run AIT (a 'Doz programme) at home on my Mac, BUT my IBook won't fry itself, like my first 150 Apple Notebook, they just go and go.
I keep it on the kitchen bench, so the all in one enclosure would be appealing but a MacBook would be in keeping with the tradition. I worked for IBM, PC laptops just don't come close, in 3 years they are all but dead, always. -
