yeah. I might need more time for this assignment. Seeing as how I don't have word. Not that I think they'll notice if I make my document in TextEdit.

at school they have a whole room full of desk top pentium IIs. I look at them and think...beowulf cluster. I dunno if it would be worth it tho....

they think I'm geeky now, and they've only seen like the tip of my geek iceburg....
I'm trying to think of definitions for disk drive and diskette that don't involve how totally obsolete they are.

anyway, I have may 6-9th off and hope to arrange some way to see people around then, especially since I'll be turning 29 on may 7th.
