file this one under “should have just went to bed.” i stayed up to follow the mac world coverage on engadget, which hilariously went down just as things started going. so i headed on over to gizmodo and followed the action until i realized i couldnt afford/need what jobs was pushing. i dont know about you folks, but i was pretty disappointed with at least the macbook air. the other stuff, while cool, doesnt really do much for me. it was the air, or whatever they were announcing, that i was particularly interested in. dont get me wrong its pretty sweet, but it almost screams “yeah, i got the fucking cash/neck deep in debt, so fuck you.” i definitely dont think its very practical for every day use, unless of course you travel a lot or are a trust fund college kid. i dont know what i was expecting but i was hoping for something like that, but not for 1800 bucks. thats really the killer, at least for me. its becoming increasingly more difficult for me to justify apple prices, as awesome as they are, when i can get a dell with better specs for 500 bucks cheaper. since apple’s new found love of all things intel, the only thing really seperating pc’s from macs are the os, and thats an easy fix. get rid of xp/vista and go with ubuntu, or something of the like. half your issues are solved just by getting rid of windows. so, yeah, unless i can get one of the refurbed macbooks, my next purchase will probably be a dell or whatever. definitely should have just hit the hay.
anywho, here is senor adams playing at the mercury lounge on 8.8.98. thanks to the original taper.
