Ramadan #5

“Nono Felipe”

“Canon EOS 20D”

Nono picked me up this morning to accompany him to an ocular inspection – the real reason however was our planned ramadan (Hidalgo trip) that day – wherein he had to get some blank DVD-Rs and MiniDV media.

I, on the other hand, was going to recieve my replacement 20D that same afternoon.

We ended up getting what we wanted… and as a bonus – treated ourselves to 500-peso PCMCIA CF adaptors for our respective laptops. Now we don’t have to rely on our ImageTanks all the time.

Anyhoo, the replacement unit was supposed to have come from a better/refined production batch (I expect no less from the wait I had to endure) and everything seemed to be in order. I’m happy for another ramadan.

Meet Adam

“View product page”

I finally gave in to actually identifying my Powerbook.

Since everyone else was doing it… and I actually do have a name for my PC (Halimaw)

Since it was my first Apple, I was thinking in the lines of Adam and Eve… and since it’s soooo common to have a woman’s name for a computer, I decided to stick with the masculine naming preference – like what I did with Halimaw

Besides, despite the elegance, a “Powerbook” on a UNIX based core… this thing purely suggests something masculine.

So there we have it… meed Adam.
