Here's something to think ...

Here's something to think about. Since I received my Titanium Powerbook in February, I think I've only had to restart it maybe half a dozen times. It's running Mac OS 9.1 with Mac OS ROM 6.6.1. Granted, the only apps I run on a daily basis are BBEdit, Netscape 4.x, IE 5.0, AOL IM, NiftyTelnet, and Anarchie Pro. It's still a remarkedly stable system, compared to some reports.

I watched 10 minutes of Return to Oz today. Dorothy is an insomniac, she has a pet chicken that talks, and it's sorely lacking the musical score that made the original Wizard of Oz such a success. I really hate it when Hollywood screws up a good thing.

If you want to see a disturbing movie, I recommend you rent Happiness. It's a surprisingly truthful movie that exposes the American lifestyle and culture for what it truly is, and not what Hollywood presents on-screen.

Roger Ebert completely tears apart Freddy Got Fingered. This movie is completely disgusting, even for a Tom Green vehicle. There is such a thing as going too far.

BBEdit for Mac OS X is here! I'm hyperventillating...
