So, I finally got my laptop- handed down it might be, but at least it's a laptop. One, I should mention was a "You get above 9.5, you get a laptop"-trying-to-push-you-harder mom talk. And for what is probably the third time, promises have not been kept.

And this is first post!! *take two minutes to pay respect*

Right. New personal property involves customization.

The iTunes 8 pink color bug has been tackled and normalcy has been restored.

Almost like a dog peeing around something, to mark it's property. Not a pretty comparison, but what the hell. Customizing involved downloading iTunes 8.0, which lead to viewing of a completely bizarre pink colored screen that made reading tough on a more intellectual level and just hurt the eyes on a more baser level.

Looks something like this->



Minimizing/ maximizing works for only about two seconds. You might also encounter a green and black color combination when you select songs.

I was all set to re- download the software, when purely by chance, I decided to comb the erstwhile web to find out if something like this was happening to anyone else. Gladly (no, not the misery-loves-company-one) it IS a bug in the software ( which is SHocking considering it's Apple)

Windows XP users need only do the following-




1. Right click on your desktop and select Properties.
2. Select the Settings tab.
3. And change the color settings from 16-bit to 32-bit.

And that's it.

Vista users need to select Personalize after right clicking on the desktop, and do the same as above.

On a totally different note, I've got a new pet- Zinnia. It's the name of a flower

Other news. Actually I'm just showing off this new pullquote thing.

and in the language of flowers means, thoughts of absent friends. And I love that.

People, who don't like it's munching and/or baahing, may turn on the mute option. Feed her, though.

I'm not sure if I like my current blank state. Oh and I joined twitter. What purpose it's supposed to solve, I'm not sure of as yet.

Pleasant Sunday,

SG.

   @Koze: IBM Thinkpad. I love that the screen is big unlike the latest ones and I love the keypad.
   
   @astro:Oh totally. I'm sending virtual karma.

   I am still deciding if I should get a new laptop.... my present laptop is big and heavy but super fast.... recently formatted and runs as good as any new one... I spend $1200 on this guy when i bought him 3 years back (3 yrs, 2 months and 6 days :d) and he's giving me value for money (2Ghz with 2 gig RAM in 2005)!!
   
   My laptop still works like new but I am aging and carying a 7 pounder to school and back everyday is becoming a pain :d am wondering if should get one of those 12" screen laptops...

   Hey!
   
   Long time.
   
   I like big screens. And this isn't all that heavy. Plus, it's sturdy. What with all the throwing it down they do in the ad.
   
   Anyhoo, keep coming. Hope alls well.
