Took a day off of sorts (from my day job). Helped a client set up a PowerBook (FireWire/2000/whatever one chooses to call it)... pretty darn schweet. However, I'd never consider another PowerBook until Apple offers one in the same realm as my Duo 280. I'm tempted by the new VAIOs, but I'd feel downright guilty owning two decent machines.

Pretty darn happy work'll be over next Wednesday, but then comes school almost immediately afterwards...

Dick Cheney sickens me--to think that he wasn't in favor of Nelson Mandela's release... ugh. I remember watching Nelson Mandela being released from prison when I was a kid. It was really, really early in the morning, as I recall... I didn't wake up to watch it in particular; rather, I was going through a phase where getting up at 3 A.M. to watch my tiny black and white TV was fun. What did I ever do without sleep?
