blah blah blah computer talk

Mostly I'm just making blog posts to try to get past ten-per-month at this point.

I upgraded to Mac OS 10.6 this morning because my mother had to pay ridiculous amounts to buy a 5-install pack to upgrade from 10.4 (I was on 10.5). My disk space use tends to border on anorexic, something left over primarily from my old iMac, the first computer I ever owned, that had something like a fifteen gigabyte hard disk, of which about four gigs were free by the time I got it, so I'm hesitant to install things onto it. However my brother assured me that this install would actually free up space on my disk, so, tentatively, I ran the install.

Upon reboot I found myself with sixteen more gigabytes of free space. I don't understand how it works - my brother swears it was just deleting some PowerPC codes I don't use - but I like it. Still kind of fretting that I'll have to get a different computer, I'm still not sure what the actual tech specs published by our department are, but most of my friends have fifteen-inch screens at least, which makes me think I'm doing something wrong...? I'm not taking any film classes this semester, so I think I'll ask around and see if people who are recommend it.

Okay this is mostly a post about nothing.
