Finished up painting the guest room last night and it's looking pretty sweet. We had to go with four coats in order to cover the dark blue that ran up half the wall. Now I just have to repaint the baseboards and replace the ceiling tiles, which I hope to get done this weekend, and then we can set up the bed. Oh, I guess I'd better finish off the closet too.
It tried to snow again the other day and we got a bit of a skiff but not much to write home about. Today the sun was back out but the temps have been staying below freezing so the roads have not been melting and remain a bit slick.
The big news the other day was that Apple finally introduced the Intel powered MacBook and as I am not a big Apple user I was not too interested. I'll wait till Microsoft releases Vista this summer to see what kind of a debacle that is. In the meantime it's interesting to see what the Macheads think of the new machine and from what I've read they are not impressed. Granted, Intel can supply a wider range of more powerful chips than Motorola/IBM could, but I guess they have stripped a few features off the Macbook, presumabley to aid in the power consumption which is up with the new chips. So it will be interesting to see where this goes as they roll out the new machine. Boom or bust, Apple still has only a small percentage of the computer market. Now lets see what Bill Gates has up his sleeve.
