Egypt Urnash's Profile

2, assuredly. Because I could use the net to get myself the hell OFF the island. And once I got back in the normal world I'd go back to using a Mac. When I was fleeing Hurricane Katrina, I used any means I could find to keep in touch with my friends and let them know I was okay, and figure out where to go next. If a public terminal was a Windows box, I didn't care as long as I could get to webmail, LJ, etc. When I ended up moving in with some friends in Boston, I spent a decent chunk of my disaster relief money on a refurb Powerbook so I could start freelancing again. "The network is the computer" only works if you do nothing but text. Ain't no way I'd wanna use Adobe Illustrator in my browser. Hell, ain't no way I'd want to use some mythical version of iTunes that pulled all the music off the net, either. I have about 40 gigs of music on my computer and I've never spent a single cent at the iTunes Store; it all came from my own CDs.
