... and we are impressed to say the least.
"What did you drive?" I hear you ask...
Well, we are the new owners of the much anticipated Mac Os X operating system, it's called TIGER.
"Aw, Wolfie, we thought you was gonna tell us about a new 4 x 4..."
Well, yes, I would like to, but this little wolf has to save some more money. Now, Tiger....
Apple had it's WORLDWIDE release here in Australia, at least, yesterday, at 1800 hrs.
My son, the Apple aficionado, and BA Comp Sci. graduate, had already pre booked his copy at his reseller.
Well, You should have been a fly on the wall at our house yesterday afternoon.....
Ian..."Mark, this release is a bit like when all the little girls line up at book shops at midnight with their daddy's, and wait to buy the latest Harry Potter book."
Tracy..." Mark, don't you think you had better get changed before you go out to the Apple
shop? I'm sure all the people will be lining up at the door in costumes, like those Star Trek conventions. Do you want to borrow my big hat, and we can tie some apples onto it?"
Rhiannan ( sister )..."Mark, can I come with you, and bring my digital camera, and take geek photos?"
Well, the door slammed, and he was gone...... on a mission....... for he was to return with a tiger.....
When he got back, we all asked him if the 4 TV stations were there, with the news anchor people doing interviews. Funny, you know... you'd think that nearly 21 years of having parents like us, he'd be sort of immune.....
Anyway, he got tiger up & running on 2 computers last night, and did the other 2 today. I'm sort of glad he went out and got the software, because I think if Tracy & I had have gone instead, we would have probably been kicked out of the
shop or something. Bit like when Tracy tells me, she never wants to go to New Zealand, because she always cracks up when she hears them talk.
So, we're all Tigered up, and the best bit..... Mark paid for it all!!!
Sounds fair, I just shelled out for an Airport Extreme Base station, and 3 cards, along with ADSL.
May the force be with you.... or is that Na Noo, Na Noo...... like Robin Williams used to do in Mork & Mindy.
Cheers
Wolf on Tiger
