Acquisition log

[johan]

I think I shall start logging the books we/I buy in my journal. Perhaps not the most exciting info, but who knows, it just might spark off a discussion or two.

Today's catch:

Rosor och riddare, edited and translated by Axel and Ulla Österberg, Rabén & Sjögren 1971. Swedish translations of Provençal troubadour poetry, with generous background information about the troubadours and the poems.

Ah, the great Anglemark Book List. I remember it well. :-)

BTW, have I mentioned I am a Mac guy now?

It makes my heart leap with joy to hear. What machine is it? I'm still using my 5 year old B&W G3 @ 400MHz, but I have expanded it to 448 MB RAM so it's still keeping up. I'm going to get a new one for Christmas.

This past june, my girlfriend and I got the machine that is my machine now:

15" Powerbook (the last of the TiBooks) 1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB hdd, Combo drive, Airport card, running 10.3.3; THE GREATEST COMPUTER I HAVE EVER OWNED.

My girlfriend has a B&W. My son has a tangerine iMac, which he loves. In about a two-month period, we went from all-PCs to all-Mac. MAJOR goodness.

I also have a 30GB iPod (rock!) and have managed to sell many Macs to friends. I think Apple owes me a commission. :-)

I don't know, maybe they pay for testimonials like that? :-) I gave my wife (http://www.livejournal.com/users/ljms) a 20 MB iPod for Christmas and she loves it too. (I should hope so!)

How old is you son these days? My guess would be 5 so he's probably 10, since x2 seems to be the factor I have to use to convert my hazy sense of time to real time.
