Wow, I was just fooling around with the Mac Plus, and found the battery compartment for the date and stuff. It has a regular AA battery in it! Woah! They should have that for all computers!
Oh wow! MY CD-ROM EXPLODED! The one I got a couple days ago. I was just using the computer as normal, and the CD-ROM spun up, and then, BANG! It sounded like a huge ELECTRICAL bang, and then I looked down and saw SPARKS fly out of the CD-ROM! Turns out, they weren't sparks, they were the silverish top layers of the CD, and pieces of the CD started flying out, and the ENTIRE FRONT FACE OF THE CD-ROM FLEW OFF. WOW! So then, out of panic, I quickly shut the machine down, and figured out what was going on. I hit the manual eject on the CD-ROM and dumped out all the pieces of my CD. It's a very good thing I had JUST removed Nabil's Gatecrasher CD, 2 minutes ago, after copying it! The CD that was in there was a CD-R I had burned! Oh wow, time to drive to my vendor and tell him what happened!

Dang, there are two trunks in the Boxster! One in the back, one in the front. Ok, tiny, but still nifty, especially for a convertible. Dang, can't see the engine though, there is no hood! There is this compartment for oil and stuff in the back trunk, but that's it. I thought the Germans liked showing off the engine. Owell. It's still a really nice car.
Awesome! CompUSA didn't have too much fuss about it, and compressed air was on sale anyways, so I got like 2 10 oz cans for $10, and got $18 credit for returning that reusable crap, so I got $8 back basically.
Alright, I went on a total computer shopping spree. I went to Computer Concepts and bought a couple 100ft. patch cables to do some home networking, a PCI NIC card, an AT Keyboard, and a cheapo Acer CD-ROM drive, $36. I'll have to see how that drive performs, before my 10-day window to return it dissapears.
Yikes, sat in the Boxster too long, got home too late, I'll have to try out all my new computer toys tomorrow.

I'm stupid. I bought this stupid reusable air duster thing, and it's totally useless. There is no air pressure @ all, even when filled up all the way. Well, the stupid thing is, I could have returned it! Now, it's past the 14 days that I'm supposed to be alloted, but I only want an exchange for a real air duster, so I'll have to see if they let me slide on this one.
