comic books
Few comic books I own in my mistaken imitation of Medici:
- http://asofterworld.com/ -- grainy transfer to paper :-( but a bigger poster was nice. see also http://www.asofterworld.com/news/
- http://narbonic.com -- a few original drawings from around 2000, 2001, pencil marks and all :-)
- http://www.mnftiu.cc/mnftiu.cc/war.html -- well, go get your war on.
- http://www.lowbright.com/index.html -- Same Difference.
- http://www.shigabooks.com/ -- Double Happiness and others. If you want to get depressed about our society, movies and culture while laughing your head off, go read Bookhunter.
We're still proud of what you do, son

switched
A new PC with XP Home vs a new Mac Mini with Tiger
CPU: 2.2 Ghz vs 1.5 Ghz
RAM: 2 Gb vs 0.5 Gb
Bus: 800 Mhz vs 133 Mhz
Net: GigE vs 100 Mbps
Even with a far inferior hardware Mac is far more usable. PC would start going bad when memory usage topped 1/2 of physical memory and if explorer.exe went bad then it was time to reboot. Mac's Finder is crufty but it manages to recover okay in a few minutes when it hangs; I don't even notice memory usuage when it goes over physical RAM size. Mini doesn't have either microphone jack or surround sound; but it's very quiet unlike the PC. To my surprise I even like Safari. I should've switched sooner.
