aah - don't you hate it when you don't heed your own advice. i've always liked and used apple macs - only using pcs when it became a necessity. however before going travelling, against my better judgement, i bought a new pc laptop. there were a few reasons for this, not least the price, but i'm regretting it now. i've already had to rip out and replace the hard drive, and yesterday was the sixth time in as many months that i've had to reinstall the operating system. in techincal terms - it's a piece of shit. i know macs aren't perfect, but i'm confident i'd have a lot less trouble if i had a macbook instead of a dell. one consequence of the reinstall is that i can't open itunes - as my installer is older than the version i was last using. this means i have to download a 77mb file... in an internet cafe... in bolivia. it kinda feels like apple are both sticking their middle finger up and saying i told you so, or rather you told you so.

here's the original
