Incidental Mac user...?

Is this damn thing gonna let me blog?

...YAY! IT IS!!! I can't figure out why the cursor moves like death in the Myspace and Twitter update fields, but not on Facebook and not while I'm blogging here. GAH. I actually had to install a Firefox add-on to post to Twitter 'cause it was just waaaayyyy too slow otherwise and I can't run Twitter apps because of the lack of Adobe AIR.

Backstory. John's Dell was about to explode. Heh. It kept crashing every couple of minutes and it was annoying as fuck. Terry got fed up and moved his Mac (his recording studio, really) from John and Moe's walk-in closet to the dining room and set it all up.

Now. Terry has ProTools 6.4 LE on it. That's the whole reason he even has the computer. He doesn't want to upgrade, because he'll probably have to pay hundreds of dollars. ProTools 6.4 doesn't work on a Mac OS higher than 10.3.9, which is what we're running. The problem here is that Safari was running at 56k speeds so I had to put Firefox on the damn thing. BUT I HAD TO FIND FIREFOX 2.0 'CAUSE IT WON'T RUN 3.5! We also can't run Adobe AIR or anything necessary like that. Kinda lame, but at least we're not crashing all the time.

If only we could upgrade ProTools... BAH.

Still trying to get the hang of this damn computer. I wanna free up a shitload of space (we're down to 10GB on the HD), but we're not sure what's safe to delete and whatnot 'cause there was a period where a bunch of the audio data was saving to the hard drive instead of the external drives. BAH.

Oh, clusterfuck.

Work today. CLOSING. Goddamnit. I'm closing today through Wednesday. Barely gonna see my baby 'til Thursday 'cause I'm gonna be getting home at 10 and he goes to bed at 11-ish. Eff. But then I have Thursday off and open on Friday (PAYDAY!!!!)

I should go do some laundry and take a shower. Well, after Moe gets up 'cause she works earlier than I do.
