Timeline...

Before I forget (again), the updated Trip Timeline thinger:

Monday 19th: Pack like a mad thing. Finish errands requiring presence in Arizona (library, mailing crap, &c.)
Tuesday 20th:
  • Bus to airport. (Red Line to Terminal 2.) I'll want to be there 2 hours ahead of boarding time, which means I'll want to be there at 11:30am, which means I'll have to depart the apartment at 9:15, because I'd rather be far too early than late.
  • Potentially hang out with [livejournal.com profile] hcolleen, who has the mad 1337 skillz, not to mention the security badge, to chill at the gate with me.
  • Watch explicit imported animation on laptop at gate & get busted by airport security, but not before traumatizing several screaming children who will never look at an octopus the same way again.
  • Get picked up by Guide Dog Aunt around 3:30 local time.
  • Explore the nitty-gritty details of the LAN.
  • Avoid being sucked into massive gaming session with cousins.
  • Figure that current Best Friend would get along with cousins far better than previous fiance.
  • Remember that Best Friend is a PC kind of guy.
  • Plot to introduce Best Friend to the friendly world of Mac.
  • Collapse with utter exhaustion.

Wednesday 21st: Nothing currently scheduled (Guide Dog Aunt may have nefarious plans).
Thursday 22nd: Get borrowed by [livejournal.com profile] pyrogenic for entire day, more or less. [Tentative: Introduce [livejournal.com profile] pyrogenic to [livejournal.com profile] ataniell93, incidentally meeting her face-to-face for the first time?]
Friday 23rd: Nothing currently scheduled.
Saturday 24th: Family Road Trip. (Yes, I got the Dramamine.) (Guide Dog Aunt is a California Driver. I might be getting used to them. Maybe. Dramamine is Just In Case.)
Sunday 25th: Family Christmas.
Monday 26th: Whee, Lake Tahoe.
Tuesday 27th: Whee, Lake Tahoe.
Wednesday 28th: Family Road Trip, Part II: The Return.
Thursday 29th: Meet up with people in SF area??

Re: converting Someone to the Mac side of the Force - Mac OS X = unix, which has far more geek points than Windows, and Intel-based Macs are due next year, possibly as soon as January.

I've known some VI/EMACS flame-wars to get bad, but never /that/ bad.

(Real Men don't use Vi /or/ Emacs - they edit the bits on the hard drive using a magnet.)

Also, I read 'Dramamine' as 'Drama Mine', and was wondering why you'd want to plant mines that released drama - or maybe they were mines that exploded only in the presence of drama?

Then I realised that that /made no sense/, so I just Googled it like a normal person.

Those machines were really awesome in their day. I desperately wanted one, but couldn't afford it.

I've never actually owned a Motorola 680x0-based Mac - all of mine have been PowerPC. Our next Mac might be Intel, which is weird and creepy.
