throwing in the towel
i've taken to a new policy initiative, whereby (joe: you were right) i am not going to let things that i can't control get me down. well, at least with computers.
first, i'm going to give up on trying to get the backlight on my laptop fixed. i'm never going to get apple to reproduce it, it's easy enough to resolve when it happens, and i'm going to get a new one in a couple weeks anyway. done and done.
the second thing is bluetooth on windows. i've had like 0 trouble with my apple bluetooth keyboard on my mac, but no end to the suffering on windows. there's no battery monitor for it. i'll be playing the city game, and all of the sudden my keyboard stops working. and clicking on the shut down thing in the start menu? it always makes my keyboard stop working, and it doesn't work when i reboot, so i have to go find a usb keyboard to log in. no thanks.
and now that "bonjour" is out for windows, i think i can ditch having static DHCP + DNS + LDAP. oh, except for lustre. and getting to my imap server from outside. and if i ever want to play games over the internet. ok, focus.
also, i want a ps3.
