The Anti Hype

Harry Redknap talks about the Spurs squad & goes up even further in my estimation.

I hope he’s referring to a midfielder in the mould of Dave Mackay! We’ve been missing that for years.

This is a very sad day for me.

Not only did my team lose again last night – I can’t bring myself to write anymore about that! – I heard this morning that Richard Wright – keyboard player with Pink Floyd has just died from cancer.

I just hope when his time came “I’m not frightened to die” was his reality.

Here’s the press release

In tribute here’s The Great Gig In The Sky – RIP Richard

For years he’s been trying & yesterday he got his way!

One of my best mates is a Mac freak and has been signing their praises for as long as I can remember.

I’ve resisted, not to spite him or because I have anything against Macs, but because I use a number of bespoke software programs that only run in Windows.

The Anti Hype in me has also held me back – take the iPhone for example – was that over hyped or what?

But he convinced me with a quick run through of Leopard (the newish operating system if you are unfamiliar with Macs), the bundled programs and how you can still run Windows on the Apple Mac.

I’ve used iTunes on my PC for years but on a Mac it’s a different ball game. Add the connection to your TV and flick through the album covers of your favourite music on your flat screen. I can see my work building up as I spend hours playing!

Style (which Macs have never been short of) is one thing but useability is something else. I now realise Macs ooze both – all in need to do is source replacement programs for those Windows based ones I use frequently.

I know some high profile guys love their Macs – The Tubby Nerd, Ed Dale, springs to mind. I’ll have to check out his recommended programs

I guess I’ll also have to start hanging out in different places.

It feels almost like changing the football team you support! Now that’s something I COULDN’T ever consider
