Almost forgot how to post and Comic Life

It's been so long I almost forgot how to post something! Sorry about that folks.

Things continue to run pretty well on my iMac. I keep bouncing back and forth between Safari and Firefox(now that I have 1.5). The system still doesn't seem as snappy as a PC, but maybe over time I'll get used to it. Or buy an Intel version next year...

I've been playing with this really cool program called Comic Life. I created a short comic with pictures of the kids from the zoo - came out really well. I'll have to figure out how to print it so it can be bound properly. Maybe I can print at 11x17 and stitch down the middle. I think this program is just the coolest thing and a good example of a good solid Mac app.

I've also been playing wit Linux distros. I've got a stack of 20 or so CDs with various distros, live cds, etc. So far Ubuntu seems to be standing out. I'll be running it on my $99 PC that I got from Fry's during their doorbuster(yeah, that's right, $99!). It's amazing what kind of horsepower $99 can buy these days.

In case I don't post again soon - Happy Holidays!
