the waiting game

well i bit the bullet.. bought me a laptop *cough* sorry notebook as they are now called..

after some hard thinking whether to convert to an apple powerbook, i've decided to stick with windows for the time being. my reasoning was that
1. it's cheaper by FAR
2. i dont have to get used to a new os (which will kill my productivity at work, not to mention to re-learn how to use a pc and a whole new set of interface problems)
3. there is more software available for it.
4. if i get sick of windows i can nuke it and install fedora again.

i guess ill just wait untill i have enough spare cash and time to learn a new os... i will soo you then apple..

i ended up going for a dell pentium m based system which i basically cusomized to upgrade everything.. for an *incredibly* reasonable price thanks to the specials they have going this week. so for under $2500 i end up with a killer system... so now the waiting begins.. 10 days estimated time.. is such a long amount of time to wait for a new toy when you've already paid for it..work faster dell factory minions!
