Why Am I Cursed?

I got a new MacBook. Installed XP on it. Worked fine.

Now it won’t work fine anymore. It’s been exactly one week.

I’ve run like seven different diagnostics on it. I’d be so mad if all my important files get lost — all my project files, etc. Well, not ALL, but many of them will be lost.

Am valiantly trying to boot. Because Win XP won’t boot normally, and it says my SLAYER file is corrupted! Argh!

I Like My New MacBook

My old Toshiba, which lasted almost five years, is so ancient, I can take a nice hot shower while it loads Word.

The bad thing is the data migration of course. I don’t particularly enjoy it, but it has to be done. I can’t believe I have so much !@#$ on my laptop!

Slow Firefox 3

I just installed FF3, and boy it’s slow. (I used to use FF2)

Someone told me to go to about:config and set network.dns.disableIPv6 to true. I did that, and it seems a bit faster. Hmm.

What a crummy upgrade.

P.S. If you want to revert to FF2, click here.
