Grandparents in town…

My Grandma Linda and Grandpa Chuck are in Salt Lake for a few days. They are extreme wine connoisseurs from Napa Valley, California. Fun to see them as they have never been here before. We ate at Z’Tejas in The Gateway (great place) and I showed them the Mac store >_<
I’ve started up a hosting company with a friend named Matt, but right now it’s not up. Or, at least, if it is, I’m not aware. It would be cool to make some money off that, if it could happen.
Speaking of money, my PC isn’t selling. It’s priced too high. I wouldn’t buy it for that (minimum bid is at $2500, buy it now is at $3500)–I wouldn’t even advise someone else to pay that. True, it competes with some of the stuff out there, in some ways. Computers are so completely difficult to compare to each other it makes me crazy. Alas, if I could sell the thing for maybe $1500 it would still be awesome. I could build another for maybe $1000, maybe even a bit less (especially now that the 8*00-series of NVidia cards are out, and I will also now allow myself to browse ATI cards as well since AMD bought that awful company out!). The 6 series cards aren’t even available on NewEgg now…and NewEgg has everything. I might have to get a 7 series, which would be really good.
But I’m wondering if I should do that at all. Should I just keep my PC and be happy? It is running a good bit faster now that I got rid of a few old programs that were running undetected in the background. However, I still want a Mac…I want one badly. I have hated Windows since well before I got a Mac…Mac is an option though. A mainstream operating system that you can actually live on, because there’s a good amount of other people out there who do so, and therefore software gets made for it! Linux…well, I love it from a functionality standpoint. But I’m afraid it just doesn’t have enough of a following. It’s difficult to run, and sometimes you just need something that simply works. You’re all aware of my opinion there…
I shall have to sleep on it.
