Wednesday was my birthday people! Yes, I would say that I feel as if you had added a few grey hairs to my head, but I am bald, so that would be out of the question. Anyways, I came home today expecting a birthday card but instead I got one of these:

Holy schwauzers! Is that cool or what?

Happy birthday and congrats on the mac, have you used them much in the past?

@Jeremy: Hey thanks for dropping by and congrats on your macbook pro too! Erm…I am a TOTAL newbie with macs! I use windows (I know, I know) and two versions of Linux (Geeky) but the mac is a first for me. Its the Bethel (http://ibethel.org) gravitational pull - made me want one!

I’ve been using Macs since the late eighties - and also Windows and just about every flavour of Unix / Linux. If I have a choice, and the application / environment is appropriate, then I always choose the Mac.
Have fun with your new toy

Added on April 20th, 2007 at 3:21 pmHappy birthday John & congrats on the Mac. I just got one, Q’s gravitational pull, not Bethel’s
His planet is nearer & exerts such “gravity” as you have experienced
As for birthdays, what are those anyway?? I’m still 39 & no amount of gift shirts will sway my position on the issue. blessings from sunny FL.
