Meh. Most of the bands I'm interested in seeing are not bands you need to camp out to get tickets for.

Agree.
Festivaltickets I meant .
I would definitely spend the night outside a post office to be able to go to Lowlands.
"Luckily" this stuff is digital now. Making it impossible to get on the over crowded server. Luckily a friend of mine was able to buy my tickets.

I never bought an iPod, but recently I did get an iPhone, which serves the same purpose really, with your phone stuff too. I mainly got tired of paying for burner cell phones, and I needed something a little more reliable as I use a cell for my home phone and everything else. I ended up choosing the iPhone because it just looked sexier. Price wasn't an object, so that's what I did.

I think that supports your point too. I don't really care about tweaking the phone or jailbreaking it and doing all sorts of crazy things with it. I just got it because it will call, text, and has some useful apps. I know I could have gotten that via another route, and been possibly better off, but for my purposes, it's just a matter of ease of use, and having something that does what I need it to do.
I can see how that mentality can apply to Mac computers, and I can't blame Mac users for it.
I'm just not that kind of person when it comes to computers, though. I'm balls deep in tweaking and upgrading and overclocking and all that, when it comes to computers, PCs (yea, with Windows even) give me that ability.

What are you talking about?

Oh I like working with iPhones. There's not much downsides to them except that (I may be informed wrong here) You have to use iTunes to manage them? Not want.

Well I probably would have chosen a Android phone altough I've heard that Windows Mobile 7 is running pretty neat nowadays.

That's what I said; Android phone. Doesn't need tweaking or jailbreaking, it just does everything. Yay open source

Neither can I. I only wish they realised they just couldn't be bothered instead of trying to convince me that a mac is so much more stable and reliable and really value for money and how easy it is that if you want to throw something away you just move it towards the trashcan on your screen (I really heard that coming from four (!) seperate mac users ).

You probably should use Linux.
Eitherway, I'm not that deep into computers. I can fix computers for people so they are more than useable again (last comment from my neighbour: "it's magnificent, it never run this well ever". Packard bell, go figure). I can manage my network (just), I like playing around with old PC's, creating one good laptop from a broken one and spare parts. I like messing around with different OS's. I guess you could say I'm an above average PC user but not some sort of tweaker/hacker/programmer. I'm fine with that. I have friends who know more about computers as it's their job. I don't mind. I'm really a software geek. I do audio, video, photo, the lot. There's always a lot of software on my PC's

I somehow always get in trouble when I have to reinstall one of both operating systems. Stuff with the bootloader and such. I usually reinstall them both because I can't be bothered finding out a way to do it properly. You probably already know, so that's fine then

(you just did a double posting )

Hrmm.. I've never had a problem dual booting, neither on one drive with two primary & active partitions, or two separate drives, both active.
I've even made 4 active partitions on one drive (4 is the limit) and put an operating system on each of them with no problems. Of course, most of it was testing and stuff like that. For the most stable course, I'd recommend separate drives for dual boot, and a third for backup and data. If you get everything perfect and image the drives and store the images on the backup, updating the images when you make major additions/changes, then you're pretty much set, in case the unthinkable happens.

I never had any troubles installing dual boot, but I did have problems reinstalling one of those OSses. It usually gave me some trouble booting. Especially when using Linux next to windows. THat Linux bootloader is a bitch.

On the same drive though? If so, it's a little different because there's a shared boot partition. On separate drives, you don't have to worry about that. Never have any problems installing Linux next to Windows at school, and that happens a lot, as there's a Linux class that uses the same lab machines as a Windows class.

s_k

Same drive, different partition.
So yeah.
