Oooh! Shiny!
I want a Powerbook.
I decided this quite a while ago, they’re gorgeous machines running an absolutely gorgeous OS, but then one of my colleagues got a fifteen inch one and I’m even more in love than I was before. They just seem to be so absurdly well designed, lots of little bits that make you think ‘oooh’. Even the connector for the mains power lead has a bit of Apple flair to it.
The only real difficulty involved is in not ordering one that’s far too expensive. I mean, I don’t want a 17″ screen on it so that bit’s not a problem, but I don’t really need a DVD writer in it either… and a backlit keyboard is just pure luxury, right? And surely a 60GB hard disk is enough?
Or is it?
In the mean time, I continue my preparations for NaNoWriMo — these include working out the plot for my novel, writing the last two parts of Only Slightly for the h2g2 Post and preparing a new section of this site for my writing, to complement my random mutterings in this blog with random bits of writing collected from various things I’ve done. Or rather, various things I will do, as I’m way too lazy to put up, say, the entirety of Only Slightly and Future Prefect. Why should I anyway when you can get at them all on h2g2?
Yeah, so I’m lazy. I’m saving my energy up for those 50,000 words in November.
