When I was 10 I bought "A Night at the Opera" and the sleevenotes prodly said "NO SYNTHESIZERS"...

even at that tender age I thought "dickheads" and thankfully never bought another Queen album.

(on the other hand, ELO printed the names of all the synths they used on THEIR sleevenotes. I loved that.)

Carrying a spare battery and and a mains charger now breaks your back. Damn.

Usually I get no warning of the low battery (and because the new mains plug pulls out easily it often happens that the thing runs down before you realise) - it just suddenly DIES. Then - no matter how quick I am .... the whole thing needs to be restarted .... it has forgotten everything I was working on .... and wastes loads of my time while I watch it reload and try to find my saved work. No brain ... no stability .... totally unhelpful and unforgiving.

this is bollocks as well > it saves an image of your system and recalls upon restart when the battery died

Seriously though, with hair like that, it's no wonder he even knows how to use a computer. The last time hair like that was popular, I was playing Oregon Trail on an Apple IIe...

Go for a MacBook. Of course a black one (looks very abletonish). Heat is since the firmware update no longer a topic. At least for my machine.

Talk about how easy it is to brainwash the masses. Did you know that its an official Apple policy to brainwash their users in to doing a lot of their PR for them. its worked like a charm.
