blech

Well, I'm sick again. Ok, so the only other time I've been sick was back in december but I feel icky. I'm actually on the mend now though. I can breathe through my nose again which makes falling and staying asleep much easier. And so the worst part now is this cough that I have from the post-nasal drip. Some sicko in the hospital gave it to me. Or maybe it was a clinic patient. Damn sick people! I guess my body was too tired to fight it off.

What else, well, I'm still working up the nerve to buy my new computer. I keep reading about all these issues with the computer getting really hot (my current computer gets hot too though and I like it cause it's nice and cozy in my cool home). And then this thing about a whine. Then I listened really close to my computer and it whines too. I wonder what whine people are talking about. Some talk about a computer mooing too. Geez! Well, I went through the same process 4 years ago when I was deciding to buy this computer. I read all the support forums and got freaked out. I eventually bought the computer and everything was fine. I mean, it's still working now. My biggest issues now are
1. Should I get the 100 GB HD 7200 RPM or the 120 GB 5400 RPM drive. I mean, I don't exactly do HD intensive stuff and storage may be more important. It's the same price so cost really isn't an issue
2. Glossy or matte screen. I'm 99% settled on the matte but glossy is nice too.
3. Should I wait to buy the computer when the intel merom chip is put into it. Apparently it's being released in august by intel and according to rumor mills, the macbook pro is supposed to have them by september if not august. Again rumors. And I've already waited since january when these computers were first announced.

Okay, so my decision to purchase was rushed by my screen issues with this computer but now that I've found the cheap solution, it's not so urgent but my inner child keeps throwing a tantrum at not having this new computer. What to do, what to do. Oh and if I buy it now, I'll be able to play with it nonstop once my vacation starts on the 10th of june. Ho hum...
