the Mac and Me

No, I'm not talking about a nostalgic trip into memories of the great 80's movie about a little alien stuck on Earth. This "Mac" is the computer in the video archive. It and I are engaged in a great and epic battle...a techno-battle for all time, I think. And I am losing. It has broken my will time and again - I will feel victory in my clutches only to watch helplessly as the MAC dooms yet another project hopeful just as it nears completion. It is sucking my soul from my body as I am left to launch unspoken expletives time and again at the machine to no avail. So, I've drawn Nikolai into this conflict as well...he's useless, plain and simple. Just kidding.

Today, however, marked a turning point. Programs ran correctly for the most part, and I successfully navigated through trials and errors to complete the necessary sortie. Until today, Mac has owned me. But this day, it all changes. EAT IT, MAC! Your reign of cyber-terror is over! You will not hurt these people again!

I am proud of myself and I just thought everyone should know. And perhaps, I've gone a bit crazy.
