It Was Over a Long Time Ago

I forgot to tell you that my Windows 7 Beta box crashed over a month ago. It wasn't Windows 7, though - the hard drive was one that I'd bought back in '01. Maybe before that. The old Seagate 40GB EIDE just couldn't hang any longer.

I have tried to restore the machine to a new drive via a backup from the Windows Home Server, but the backups weren't available for some reason. I have not had the time or inclination to try again, and I simply don't want a computer in my bedroom any longer. I enjoyed the time I spent with Windows 7, and it looks to be a good change for Microsoft.

In contrast, I thought of something the other day: I have been scouting computers for years, even though I have so many. Since I got this MacBook a year ago, I can't remember the last time I tried to plan out buying another computer. It just doesn't happen anymore. I believe that deep down inside, I am content with my current computer. The only things I research anymore are servers. I want to build a distributed system for cluster computing. I haven't shopped for a Windows Laptop (or any laptop, for that matter) for a long time, and I believe my next trip to get another computer will be a short one. The MacBook Pro will do.
