I'm teaching 7th grade this year at PS/MS 25 on Lafayette between
Tompkins and Throop. Truely a dispiriting experience, but I'm still
standing.
When we were last in touch, my machine was an orange iMac (about
first-and-a-half generation). My current machine is an extravagance
from a brief period of prosperity: a 2.0 GHz dual G5 Power Mac with a
250G hard drive, 1G of RAM and a 20-inch cinema display.
I had joined YDL.net and downloaded the ISOs, but I needed to
partition the drive. Did that, decided to get the latest ISOs, only
to find that my account had expired, so the install will have to wait
until payday.
And it's 64-bit! Whee!
