PowerMac G5 at Work

My employer’s internal computing arm finally upgraded my desktop machine at work from a February 2000 issued PowerMac G4 (500Mhz, 256MB, 25GB, Zip100, DVD-RAM, ATI RagePro) to a brand new PowerMac G5 (dual 1.8GHz, 512MB, 160GB, SuperDrive, GeForce 5200).

The desktop can be configured to routinely fetch website content, RSS feeds, Usenet News feeds, and files and set them […]

October 4th

Personal: Today is my mother’s birthday, and I was able to call her but unable to talk a lot because I have a very sore throat. I am extraordinarily fortunate to have a mother with whom I am very close. She is someone I can talk to, someone I love, someone I respect enormously. She […]
