I thought this week's Friday Five was too much like TT so I found an older one to use:

1. What kind of computer do you have? (Mac, iBook, Dell, etc.)

I have a GNH special. Loveingly hand made by the the finest computer craftman on the west coast, living in SF in the Pacific district. No one is finer there.

2. How old is it? Are you happy with it?

Gosh, about a year now. I'm very happy with it though not with the 200 GB HD I bought for it a few months ago. Never did get it up to Ultra DMA mode

3. How many computers are in your household?

We have three. I have one, my son has one and we have a lap top that my Sister gave us that I use on occasion but needs a new battery and more memory.

4. What are your favorite games/timewasters on your computer?

Most recently Tiger Woods PGA 2004. Also email, YahooGroups, Chatting and communication in general is my major time waster. Recently scaled back doing these things and am reading a lot more thank you.

5. If money were no object, what kind of computer would you like to have?

One other note of interest

Didn't get my call for subbing today till 6:20am. My handler said "I have a piece of cake for you today, librarian in the Middle School." Very cool.

However, it got cooler. At 10:45 the power went out, went back on, went out, went back on, then one of the ground level transformers just off campus blew up. Some of the windows were facing that way and I hear some of the teachers saying they saw the sparks.

We were dismissed at 11:05am. Nice way to end the week eh?

Ok so what happened to daily postings? 1) I don't have something to say every day? (not likely if you know me). 2) I'm already bored with this blogging thing (not likely as my attention span is a bit better than that) NO it is 3) NO bloody time!!. More later today. Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. -- Jerry Garcia, (of the Grateful Dead)

Saturday Night and Sunday Saturday Night Dinner and Martini's Our dinner at Bamboo Asian Fusion was very good. This place was a bog standard "Hibachi cooking table" restaurant, as well as the best of the fine dining at the Paradisus. The restaurant lived up to its name on both counts, very good food, but not superlative performance. The only complaint I had was that the food was much saltier than normal. I started the night with a Coconut Martini, which was actually quite good as a starter drink. I had another at the dinner, but the sweetness was a bit much so I switched to regular dry Vodka Martini's. This was a mistake because five or so later.. well I was hungover the next day. In the mean time we had a really fun time after dinner hanging out with lots of Liza's friends. You will even find a picture of one of the women we were hanging with smoking a cigar on the Photo Bucket site . Another lovely night in Paradise. Sunday - ATV ride and the Closing dinne...

Computer Tech Spent a good five hours today working with the new ED computers. The boss had finalized arrangements Friday for a new place for the new company so we are out of the old building finally. I really hated going in to the old building every day! Anyway the owner's sister (remember this is a NEW owner - not the much berated old owner of the old business) is a CIS person for a big corporation. They just upgraded their old computers so she was able to gift us with two Dell computers. One is sweet: 128 Mg Ram, decent size HD for business, PII chip and Windows 98se. The other was problematic however: it had 2000 professional in it so I had to reformat the HD with Windows 98se (so the two computers could network if needed). It only has 64 mg of Ram and it also has a PII. The problem was that the video card - not on the motherboard thank god - would not work in 32bit color with W98. Well I had an ATI Rage laying around that I bought for A's computer but could no...
