So, what has happened since my last update. ALOT!

Intel inside is now the new Mac slogan. Shit happens, and loosing PPC
is and was a sad day. However, the promise of being able to get cheap
CPUs for towers and cheaper GPUs. There is also the promise of better
laptops and portable devices. Maybe even higher clock speeds than in
PC machines. Couple that with Apple not stopping you running windows,
the Mac may be the best option for many ppl in the future.

Exams are done and buried, hopefully will get results back within a
week. Just winding down now and saying goodbye to all the mates that
I've made over the past few months. Had a great bash at a mates place
and managed to rub a few Campus East residents the wrong way...
Anhoo, many of the residents here are going back overseas. College is
really quiet at the moment, except for some major counter-strike games.

My aim tomorrow is to buy an AMD Sempron 2200 for playing
Counterstrike over the holidays. I have $300, which should get the
CPU, motherboard, 512 RAM a HD and a PSU. Case? I think not, this
thing is gona sprawl on my desk. A PC doesn't deserve a case! It
should tie me over till the Mactels come out next year. For $300 who
cares?!

I have had the machine tied up now for ages. I have been mastering
DVDs for ppl which takes a lot of time on a 733 with a 8x DVD burner.
Rendering 3 full DVDs in iDVD then burning out multiple copies...ouch.

I uploaded the latest comic yesterday and I've added it to the main
page now. My next one is already underway. Unfortunately a detailed
script was required, so I've been giving it much thought over the
past few weeks since the Intel announcement. I almost thought I had
written myself into a corner, but I've gotten out of it and hopefully
I can continue to pump out the weekly comic for the next few weeks
without a problem. So, you get one today, and then one on Monday as
usual.

Regards,
Reece
