VACATION

Finally.  It's time for vacation so I don't have to work for the next week and a half.  I'm so happy.

Wings lose

Well, it turned out that 4 goals was too many for the Wings to overcome.  After going down 3-0 after 2 periods, the Wings scored early in the third to close the gap, but were down 4-1 only a few minutes later.  That goal ended up being the difference.



There are 3 things to take away from this game:

1 - The Wings left it all on the ice.  They played a good game all the way through.  It was a couple bounces one way that led to the goals against.



2 - The Wings last lost the Western Conference Final in 1996.  The two following years after that (1997 and 1998) the Wings hoisted Lord Stanley's Chalice.



3 - The officiating needs some serious work.  I don't know if Colin Cambell picks refs based on the size of his afternoon dump, but these were some of the worst.  They didn't cost the Wings this game, but they were just some of the worst calls I've ever seen.  Selanne's stick gets caught in Lidstrom's legs and Nick gets the interference penalty.  Later, Franzen's stick gets caught in a Duck's legs and he gets a hooking call.  Lets hope that they do something about this during the offseason.



The Wings do not need to change much this off-season.  I know it sucks to start thinking about that now, but the team is there.



Now....

My laptop

So, its taking a little bit of work to get used to Mac OSX, but there are so many things that I just like better than Windows that its not even funny.



The one problem is that I will need to take it in for service after vacation.  Something happened in shipping that will need Apple's touch to fix.  It sucks, but I did get the seller to give a partial refund to help cover it (total its about 300 bucks).

New Laptop

I know its been a while since I last posted, and I keep meaning to change that. We'll see if I can stick to it.

Well, I'm finally making the switch. I managed to get a Mac Ti Powerbook off ebay on Wednesday. So, I'm going to use this as a springboard for making the switch to Mac's. I'll still have to use Windows at work because IT doesn't want to support decent computers, but at least at home I'll be moving towards getting Macs.

So, I've got the new laptop on the way, 15" screen, 768 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD, 1Ghz G4 Proc , Airport (wireless), and Apples superdrive. It comes with all the install disks, and the previous owner upgraded it to OSX 10.4. I'll be jumping it up to 10.5 in October when Leopard comes out.

Anyway, that's where I'm at.
