I CALL it porn, but it&#8217;s not the <br \/>XXX boob-implanted stuff made in the San Fernando Valley. No, what gets me off is&#8230;regular people. Doing it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got Zip disks full of this stuff. When I&#8217;m in the mood, and the mood <br \/>always seems to come after physical exertion, somehow the endorphins cloud out <br \/>everything else in my brain, I insert a disk&#8230;and have my way with myself.<\/p>\n<p>To tell you the truth, mental fantasies are better than visual reality, so <br \/>usually I just employ the pictures to set up the conclusion. In order to come <br \/>to fruition, most times I must close my eyes, and put in place somebody I know <br \/>from real life. But, I find the pictures titillating, so I watch them, to get <br \/>me started.<\/p>\n<p>Now my computer runs perfectly. Both of my Macs. There&#8217;s not a SINGLE THING wrong with them. And I like to keep it this way. So, I&#8217;m ALWAYS anxious about upgrades. Maybe it&#8217;s just that I remember the old days, when an upgrade meant losing a day, or maybe even a week, what with all the havoc it wreaked on your system. To tell you the truth, I haven&#8217;t had a problem ever in OS X, but still, the potential consequences are lodged in my brain like the memory of a bad relationship, so I&#8217;m always trepidatious before an installation.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I&#8217;m gonna let you in on a secret. Before and AFTER every <br \/>installation of software on a Mac you should repair permissions. It&#8217;s easy, go into <br \/>Applications, launch Disk Utility, click on your hard drive and then click on <br \/>&quot;Repair Permissions&quot;. Hell, if ANYTHING is ever wrong with your Mac, just <br \/>repair permissions, it seems to always fix the problem. But I have no problems, I <br \/>employ permission repair prophylactically.<\/p>\n<p>Now, not having had a problem with an OS X installation, the time frame <br \/>within which I download upgrades has shrunk. And, after a week went by, and I had only read a few bad reports on Macfixit.com, where the people seem to always have problems because they&#8217;ve hot-rodded their systems or are completely ignorant, I got itching to download QuickTime 7. You see, I&#8217;d viewed the demonstrations. I&#8217;d heard Jobs&#8217; hype. I didn&#8217;t want to be left out. So, last weekend, I went for it.<\/p>\n<p>And my mind was fucking blown.<\/p>\n<p>What can I tell you, I saw stretchmarks that were invisible previously?? I <br \/>blew the movies up to full screen, and I lost NO RESOLUTION! It was like <br \/>watching HDTV. It was as if I&#8217;d swallowed a Viagra pill, the effects were <br \/>spectacular, and IMMEDIATE!<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you read Cringely&#8217;s post <br \/>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/cringely\/pulpit\/pulpit20050505.html\">http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/cringely\/pulpit\/pulpit20050505.html<\/a>). Maybe you know what I&#8217;m talking about. But in case you don&#8217;t, let me tell you we&#8217;re on the verge of an EXPLOSION in computer video. Movies via your computer, the infrastructure is HERE!<\/p>\n<p>Maybe first only on a Mac, but as the iTunes example has demonstrated, Steve <br \/>no longer leaves the Windows people out, he brings them aboard eventually.<\/p>\n<p>As a matter of fact, QuickTime 7 hasn&#8217;t been released yet for Windows. They <br \/>say it&#8217;s imminent. So, if you&#8217;re a PC user, once again, hate to tell you, <br \/>you&#8217;re a couple of years and a couple of changes behind us, as Jackson would say.<\/p>\n<p>But if you&#8217;re on a Mac, go to Software Update and INSTALL this puppy (after <br \/>repairing permissions!)<\/p>\n<p>And, after you do, go to the following URL for a demonstration.<\/p>\n<p>It might not get you to climax, but it will show you the POSSIBILITIES!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shapeofdays.com\/2005\/05\/a_demonstration.html\">http:\/\/www.shapeofdays.com\/2005\/05\/a_demonstration.html<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking of quality&#8230; What can I say, I like to sit in front of my computer and&#8230;hold my member.
