x_losI'm thinking of buying my ibook a bit more memory in Chicago at the apple store. Is that open on Saturdays? Hope so. Does anyone know how big 512 MB are, in terms of stuff? I want to know what I need, and I'm not ever sure how much memory this computer came with. Isn't it 1000 MB to a GB? That doesn't really make sense in terms of the pricing, though. It looks like I can get a student discount, and that's nice.
People were playing with the big chess set from the library today. While not quite life size, it was cute, v. History of the World Part I. Annie and I played, and some random guy wanted a game with me but was such an ass about losing. He dropped a rook, and I offered it back to him and he was all "No, no, I can still win." Suuuuure you can, dude. And then later he was like "I notice you didn't offer me that piece back!" *nastily* Contrasting with Annie and I, who had been playing with take backs. I didn't correct him, I just sweetly offered to go back to the previous position and give him the rook back. "I don't remember it." "I do." Still, he backed out.
His kid had come up, and this little 8 year old had to watch his dad make an ass of himself, I felt so bad for the kid! So the guy goes on to loose spectacularly, not just 'I dropped a rook, ergo.' I'm slinging on my purse and he's all "We'll play again sometime, I was beating you before I dropped my rook." I smile. "Yeah, I was wipping the floor with you before I dropped my rook." Tactfully, I mention that I was up in position (I had a knight too, jackass). "No you weren't! I was winning!" God, you suck.
And he was standing there all through annie and I and the guy before Annie and I sneering and analyzing positions and generally making a know it all jackass out of himself, you'd think he'd back it up with, if not a good game, at least some fucking grace. In front of his 8 year old too! I've never before felt entitled to call ANYONE a patzer? This guy? Patzer. Eugh.

Date: 2006-04-06 11:02 am (UTC)I would suggest bringing your computer with you to the store, and let them thar techies talk all that techie-sheet t'ya. Depending on old your computer is, it might not be able to handle an upgrade...? I have no idea, again, because Macs are my devil, but my parents computer couldn't handle an upgrade to 512MB, so... there ya go.
Dude. I want that CD. Still. And more Jew-mommy time.
... I just realized I have two jew-mommys. Oh... dear.
