Apple is something I take to office to eat in brk time..but very seldom does. Jude, my colleague, lovs to munch on these..not that he is very fond of apples..but gets kicks( I mean literally too) eating wht I get..
I just lovvvvvvv ur journals..Keep up the good work Jag. :)

Despite more or less having given up buying CDs because of the cost I do get that terrible itching feeling that I know I am going to buy an iPod one day. But what will I put on it?
Years ago when looking for a new computer, a friend I should buy a Mac, as it’s a “Lustobjekt”, as German so neatly puts it. That was a killer argument for me so I went out and bought one. I loved it. But recently having set up an online shop, I went back to Windows as I needed that OS for the bookkeeping software. Well the business hasn’t run as well as it could; I’ve got a new job and I never got around to implementing the software because we can do without it. So I’m kicking myself that I didn’t buy the new iMac. There’s not a lot of difference anymore between Mac and Windows on the usability front but it’s a joy to see a Mac on your desk whereas I wish my Windows laptop would go away and hide when not in use.

Is that Regent Street? I could even to be tempted to go and buy some Christmas presents down there if it’s that close.

Mini: thank you for your comment! And I’m glad that you like the journals too. I love eating apples too! :-)

David: I know how you feel regarding the cost of CDs. And although I’ve never personally owned a Mac myself - I find myself too often getting Mac envy - especially the widescreen Mac laptop version! I have far too often played around with somebody else’s Mac laptop - wishing I had one myself …

DG: No it’s not Regent Street - and I would probably be doing the same thing (buying Christmas presents) if it was! No - it’s much further away than that. Sure - you could probably get a bus or tube for part of the journey there - but the rest of the trip would probably be a bit longer and more expensive! (Sorry for being so cryptic!)

Hieeeeeeeee Jag, WHen I browsed thru ur journal, I saw apple again, and decided to munch 1…munch munch…
I tried cooking Yellow Dal yesterday. hmm.…it turned out to be ok. But I pressure cooked the dal..I dint have 1 hr to spend cooking on dal. Pressure cooked it and added rest of the masalas as mentioned. Hot dal with Rotis ..yummy yummy..

Hi there Mini - glad the yellow dal turned out Ok for you! I have to admit that i never tried it in a pressure cooker - but I sure will try it like that sometime!

Hey Jag..RU busy ? ..I hope ur doing good. Me..Iam all get set go to—Kansas for long weekend( July 4th)…Im all excited abt it…wheee wheee..( me jumping in my cubicle LOL ). Wish U a gr8 weekend too. And I hope to hear more from you.

Hi Mini - I am fine. And I most certainly am busy too. Happy holidays to you - I can just picture you jumping in your cubicle! Yes - have a great weekend - I should be back to posting here more frequently very soon.

My powerbook is one of my most treasured possessions and I love it dearly. It took a while to get used to though, having used pc’s only until I bought it back in april. It’s a lot harder to get software for macs…certain things I’d grown dependent upon, gaim for instance, just isn’t available for macs. It’s not a problem, because there’s tons of alternatives available, it just means you have to do a bit of extra work finding the stuff and getting used to it. But it’s worth it…just for the beautiful glowing apple logo on the lid alone.…

Amazing picture.

Sue: you have a Powerbook? Jealous. What’s “gaim”? Yes - the logo itself oozes style doesn’t it. Especially since they started to use the white-on-grey logo instead of the multi-coloured one. I also noticed that the standard fonts render much nicer on the Mac than on the PC running Windows.
