08.28.2002 || 10h02 Hard work, cars, and the DVD drive redux Oh well, welcome to working life, eh? Also, yesterday GM closed the GM plant in Boisbriand. At the same time, GM ended production of the Camaro (as 100% of all Camaros had been built there for the past few years). As far as the Camaro goes, I say good riddance. However, there are over a thousand people out of work in Boisbriand, and that sux a lot. One muscle car down, about a zillion to go... Now, if we could start seeing more of these around, or these, these, or *especially* these... Yeah, I'd consider getting a car. Otherwise, I'd be just *another* white, middle-class environmentalist whose beliefs live at the mercy of convenience. Heh, considering some of the prices for these machines, it's a bloody good thing I live in a city where cars are less convenient than the bus... ********** Hm. It seems my DVD drive has resurrected itself. I guess it heard me decide to get a new computer bag, so it can slack off the pressure or something. That reminds me of something a good friend said to be back in university. He said he didn't want to buy a Mac because he didn't want his computer to be sentient. He wanted it to be a tool and nothing more, so he was buying a Windows machine. Every now and again, I wonder which of us was the smarter one... |
