do people walk cats? Cause I think Theo needs walking. So just then he was making pitiful noises and batting at the doorknob again. Now Bob pretty much said "keep your cats in, bad to be poking around the dirty dark basement" (Sushu's interpretation of "I found him downstairs"), so I picked Theo up and gave him a tour of the basement. I think he was rather perplexed, but at least now he's not mewling pitifully anymore.

Also: Got $1049 iBook (14", 1.2 ghz, airport, 60gb, 256mb, +$76 tax) and $129 iomega dvd writer (-$20 rebate + $6 shipping). Total: $1125 + $115 = $1240. (vs. Gateway + tax = $1195) So for about $50 more I get:
- equivalent processing speed. (Well, 1.2 on a mac vs. 1.5 on a PC, I find equivalent)
- 2 fewer USB ports
- 256 mb fewer RAM
- much better video and image and sound
- an alternative, not just a replacement
- a flexible dvd writer
- a stouter laptop. (Gateway had weak hinge problem)
- 1 additional year of use, hopefully.

Yeah, it's a bit odd, but people HAVE put cats on leashed and walked them.. It's probably good for them toO!

I've seen people walk cats. The trick is really keeping them on the leash, cuz cats don't naturally like to be contained. But get a harness type that goes around the cat's body too.

I'm so happy for you! Sounds like much goodness. We will so be putting in another 256 megs of RAM to really make that puppy work for you, but in the meantime it should be a great machine.

Cat laughed at your post about Theo being an English gentleman. I thought your prose was excellent and your diction impressive.

Best wishes from New York, Jeremy (and Cat)

yeah, just got 256 ram from Ebay for $15. :D. Sadly, it may get here before the comp does.
