Mac for me all the way!  I have a clunky old PC that is dog slow.  I have a intel core duo 2ghz 1g ram black macbook, and this baby flies - with no spywear/viruses programs needed!

Are you in the South Jersey area?  Do you play either Euphonium or the Tuba?  Come out to the washington township high school to join TubaChristmas - the ONLY one in New Jersey!  This is our second year in a row doing it.

How come gmail hasn't enabled chat for us using safari?  Is this just a problem on my side, or do others not get it to show up?  Thanks! :)

This is pretty cool.  I heard about it on macbreak weekly on the TWiT.tv network.  I downloaded the energizer nap, and it doesn't lie.  I feel awesome.  Much rested and relaxed - no more head ache.  It is basically mediation/hypnosis.  Just check it out if you feel stressed.  The nap is a free download, but for the sleep app, it is $15 I believe.  You pretty much are paying for the money - I think.  Give it a try!!

Hey guys ... I'm taking a B&W photog class at college and had to take pics of our college for our first assignment.  Which one do you like better?

Hey guys ... if you haven't noticed, the iTunes store now has games to work with the 5th generation (ipod with video).  I bought bejeweled last night, and I must say it's pretty awesome!  I def. think that it is worth the $4.99.  It includes all of the levels, cool graphics, and theme music.  It's very cool and it gives me something to do when I'm bored.  But for me looking at the tiny screen for a long time gives me a head ache, but that's the only problem I have with it.  So if you have a spare $5 in your acct, go check it out! :)

Game List

• Vortex
• Tetirs
• Pac-man
• Cubis 2
• Zuma
• Texas Hold 'em
• Mini golf
• Mahjong
• Bejeweled

If you want, you can buy all the games at once, but it would cost you $44.91 or buy one at a time for $4.99
