Back To Windows 7... Where's My Mac?

I spent all morning trying to get the netbook to work. There are many sources on the net on how to fix these problems but I was running out of time and patience and finally decided to buy Windows 7 Home Premium for RM395. Moreover, I think Windows is better suited for Ayu. The software arrived at 3:30pm... I made a bootable USB drive and transferred the entire installation disk to the USB drive so I could boot from the USB drive. The netbook does not have a resident DVD drive. It installed flawlessly and then it was another round of updating... antivirus didn't work, needed a new version... updating drivers, etc. I would have thought that after over 10 years the process would be simpler but it seems just the same to me.


So much for a Hackintosh... I think I'll just buy myself a Mac... and I have some donations already towards The Buy Botak A Mac fund. My bestest friends, the MMC (Mickey Mouse Club) have given me some money for my birthday instead of the usual gadget birthday present as they know I'm itching for the Mac. Thanks dudes and dudettes. The fund now stands at RM1800.00.  Another RM2700.00 to go... any others care to contribute?

My boss called me at 4:00pm to wish me... just as I thought that he wouldn't. He still sounded sore though. After the operations meeting today I was surprised with a nice classic cheese cake from the department heads. And they've booked me for dinner on Thursday night. A farewell cum birthday dinner. Again... thank you very much.
