What a paradox to find an article on Salon ($2.19 per month + cost of computer plus internet access) questioning the value of Howard’s Sirius deal ($13 per month + cost of Sirius receiver). I’m sure that Salon had many more readers when it was completely free, but I’d gladly pay to hear Howard (as well as the other 98 non-Howard channels) with far-fewer commercials, unbridled content, and show highlight feeds. Is it a luxury? Sure. But to long-time fans like myself, the cost of access — whether to Salon or Sirius — is worth every penny.
Over the years, I've bought more than a two-dozen Macs and PCs for my office. The only word I have for a three-year-old PC is "disposable". I've never had a Dell last longer than three years without havingto replace the hard drive and/or completely reinstall the operating system. I laugh whenver some PC-head tells me how easy it is to swap to a new drive. Just finding a new drive is a daunting experience, as there is such a robust market for spare parts. I can't stand the idea of launching the old and infirm PCs on a charity, so I have to make regular visits to a PC recycling center. I hope Apple gives the PC makers a true run for their money. Parallels is a fantastic program and it runs Windows effortlessly. With my Core Duo iMac I can run both systems simultaneously and have exceptional reliability with both.
