Wiggling and jiggling

My sick monitor has begun presenting further symptoms. Not only is everything yellow, but how the picture undulates. When i turn it on, the image pulls, stretches, and squeezes before finally standing still. Additionally, every time i switch windows, the whole thing shudders as though i've upset the space-time continuum. As far as i'm concerned this is not a positive development.

When the internet was a buzz last week with speculation on what the Apple special media event would bring, there was talk of new Power Macs which got me excited. It turned out to be iPods, iMacs, and a new ITunes. I was a bit disappointed. However, then they announced another special event this week. That event happened today and they announced new PowerBooks, Power Macs, Aperture (an application for professional digital photographers), and yet another new version of iTunes. Ok, kidding about the last one, but i was happy to see the new desktop machines and figured i should probably get one to replace my now six year old computer. It's kind of pricey but considering now long a computer lasts me and the fact that this will probably be the last in a long line of PowerPC towers that Apple will release, i think it's worth it. Now i just need to work up the never to press the "buy now" button.
