Why I love my iMac

I have twelve computers, but I must say that my favorite is my iMac. Not even the various Windoze systems can beat it for totally useless and user-unfriendly error messages. While shutting the machine down the other day, I got the following error:

“Insufficient memory for requested action. Please close come applications and try again.”

The machine then locked up, with nothing noticeable happening other than the stupid spinning cursor. Spinning.

WTF? How do you close applications if the machine is completely locked up? With a 12-gauge? And how much memory does it take to shut down? Oh well. Next time I’ll know better than to run two applications at once on the machine. Or stick with my Linux boxes.

  • The Dark Side by Nathan

    My conversion to the Dark Side is complete. I watched my wife go over and scoffed at her, how easily-led she was, how willing to lock herself in to a predetermined path. Then came Vally, showing me the power and ease of using the dark side. I liked my freedom, [...]

  • Vally Took The Summer With Her by Nathan

    I went to sleep last night with the warmth of August and awoke to a cold house and a day of bright skies and bitter winds. That, and the piles of freshly-fallen redwood leaves tells me that summer left with Vally and fall is upon us. Goodbye, summer. Goodbye, Vally. [...]

  • Big Questions by Nathan

    Saturday is my day for quiet reflection and self-aggrandizing pomposity. Saturday is the day I ask the Big Questions. Why am I here?* Have I led a good life?** Where the hell did I leave my book? Seriously, where is my book?

    This is but one of several heads mounted along the walls of my grandfather’s house. They used to scare the hell out of me when I was younger.

  • Busted by Mutton by Nathan

    Poor Aaron has a love/hate relationship with sheep: He loves the way they taste, but hates the way they always want to trample him into dust. So with that in mind, here is his exciting 2006 Mutton Bustin’ ride. All 5 seconds or so of it.

  • Doom and Gloom by Nathan

    The goldfish is dying. He quit eating on Friday, and has been swimming sideways since Saturday. I can see him gasping, but beyond providing a quick and (hopefully) painless death, have nothing I could do for him. Poor little guy. It would be kinder to end his life now, but [...]

  • Rapture by Nathan

    Okay, twenty more minutes to the Rapture. Have you made arrangements for your pets yet? I think I’m going to sit this one out, thanks. The kids and I have decided that watching Dr. Who is more exciting.
