One of the perks of working at an Apple dealer is early access to new stuff. The long anticipated OS X 10.1 update was going to be available on Saturday at our store, and I was lucky enough to walk out on Friday night with a copy in my backpack. I’ve installed it on both my computers and so far I’m really impressed. A lot peppier, and a few added features.
Today I went downtown to check out the “Word on the Street,” a huge book and magazine fair that’s held every fall in Toronto. I’d been once a long time ago, but it has really grown. Crowds everywhere. The best part is picking up tons of magazines cheap. I must have grabbed about a dozen magazines and spent about $5.
Oh, and one more thing from the mundane details file: we’re finally getting cable television. It’s the first step toward getting cable modem internet access, but it’s already going to cost $50/mth by itself. The internet access will be another $40/mth. We won’t be able to afford to leave the house!
And while we’re on that subject, listen up fellas. A platinum engagement ring is a great idea….if you remember that you’re going to need platinum wedding bands when the time comes. Where most couples are spending a couple hundred bucks on wedding bands, Brooke and I are looking at about $1500. Guh!
