What To Write About?

As usual, my column is due today and I really don't have a clue on what to write about.

I was going to put in a story about the Marceline Park Board…but I think I'll write a news story about that and submit it to the Leader. Easier that way, and will probably get more coverage.

Nothing really strikes a chord with me..and that is scary…of course, it's Easter coming up, a time when we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead. So….

Time to wade into the fray again.

Macs, Macs Everywhere!

Our household is being invaded by older Macs, thanks to a great buy from my lovely wife Jeannie.

Seems that the local school here was auctioning off some G3 towers and Imacs this past weekend…and selling them as a tower and monitor combination.

DOH!

So, after conversing with my wife over the cell phone (I was headed towards a meeting in Milan at the time) I told her to buy a few if the price was right. 

$40 for two G3 towers and two Imacs is a steal!

After cannibalizing the RAM out of three of the four, I now have Jeannie a cleaned up G3 tower running OS 10.2.8. Later upgrades will include a bigger HD and more RAM, and a G4 processor. When all is said and done, I'll have about $300 invested TOTAL. And the computer will be nearly as fast as mine is.

Then, I can work on getting one done for the girls and also for a file server to dish out music.

Ah, the joys of Mac computers. Beats a PC any day of the week for ease of use and for trouble-free maintenance. 

“The New Home Of Spring Break”

Most kids go to Cancun; or Daytona Beach; or somwhere warm to get away from it all during Spring Break.

This guy went to Wal-Mart–where he hung out for 41 hours. Believe it or not.

Read the story here.

Guaranteed that this'll be a book or tv movie coming out soon. It's just weird enough.
