This is especially true of Linux.<BR/><BR/>My cousin is applying for a school board head tech job (for a small community, 7 schools) he's probably a shoe in, but is asking for some face time with my new Macbook, and my Linux desktop. Louisiana just had a bunch of Macs donated and I guess my home town got some. He'll pick up quick, cause he's that type. It just goes to show the demands now-a-days.<BR/><BR/>I personally run a Ubnuntu Gutsy Gibbon computer I built from components at home, on a 32 inch Samsung LCD tv. It's main purpose is acting as a server really, watching DVDs, and checking my email in the morning. My latest project is a website for my MBA marketing class project ( http://agent888.dontexist.org/crimestoppers ). It's nice to have an environment to do that sort of stuff in. That's all it really is though, a play environment.<BR/><BR/>My laptop, I just got beginning of October, is a MacBook running Leopard. I absolutely love it. For everything I want to do it's great. I am a little disappointed in Numbers though. I'm a data / graph junkie in my Decision support department, and while Numbers looks awesome, it doesnt have the power of Excel. I'll be buying the next Office suite for mac.<BR/><BR/>My phone is a plain-jane Motorola Razr. I'm looking to upgrade though.<BR/><BR/>I have 2 Ipod's, a 1st Gen Nano, and a 2nd Gen shuffle. Mainly used for my trips to the gym.<BR/><BR/>I use a plain Dell PC...an old one. I'm sure Im reaching the top of my hospitals upgrade roster soon though.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179628000946910261noreply@blogger.com
