Where I've been + cool tech related thing :D

hai! this is a tech post but also more of a personal life post, not sure what to categorize this as but maybe tech is the best way to put it anyways ^^

as for where I've been, basically I kinda had a rlly meh couple of weeks.. one of those things was, right after I had everything set up and even a new PDA to play around with, my iMac with Windows Vista died!

and this may sound dumb but that was a pretty major dent in my whole moving away from "modern smart" devices strategy. and one thing that iMac helped me with was thinking about FriendRewind, since it was one of the main things I used it for. I even considered setting it as my start page (altho I wanna build my own one now since I can't find anything that truly matches old school MSN that isn't the crappy moderrn MSN and that doesn't show miserable news lol). aaand then it just... died :/ and the repair is a bit scary for my liking..

so I kinda regrettably forgot about FriendRewind.

or kinda. because I bought another iMac, to upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows Vista, as you casually do.

it's a fucking great deal too. 2013 iMac with 8gb DDR3 RAM, 4th gen Core i5, 1TB HDD, still running MacOS X Mavericks, sadly the speakers on it are bust due to something stuck in the aux jack but at 40 odd quid idm that!

I'm on Windows 7 rn, altho I've been more tempted to use Mavericks if anything. I'm considering maybe making the MacOS partition more media focused for my iPod and media and use the Windows 7 partition for everything else, makes a lot of sense especially when you consider that either way I'd be able to access the media just by tapping into the other partition!

and honestly WIndows 7 is such a vibe. I'm not sure if 7 or Vista really raised me, because while my first ever PC ran Vista, I was first exposed to computers running 7 and XP in school, with plenty of hours being spent crowded around the teacher's smartboard drinking in Office 2011's (totally peak imo) tab UI or being in the corridor playing Flash games on an XP PC, which funny enough, had Media Player 11, Office 2010, and craziest of all, was synced to the school's wallpaper, which was... the Windows 7 wallpaper. I'd say despite never even owning a Windows 7 PC in my life, Windows 7 was definitely part of my childhood.

anyways, I need to eep soon x3 just wanted to give an update!!
