iMac DVSE graphite G3 400 MHz
We like the design and style. This one has an Apple AirPort card to interact on our network via our AirPort Extreme Base Station. We prefer the CD-ROM tray laoding of our iMac 333 to the slot loading of this graphite iMac. We need to skillfully pull out CD-ROMs twice or thrice with our thumb and forefinger.
[ Mid-2005: after 5 years the slot loading is now simply a slot! ]
[ the built-in woofers too have peeled off! ]
We never replace the 13 GB hard drive. We retain the classic Mac OS 9.2 with a slimmed down Mac OS X. We experimented with LinuxPPC and Ximian GNOME. We have now opted for Debian GNU/Linux running “sid”.
iMac grape G3 333 MHz
We love this grape. Unlike our iMac DVSE the keyboard is very responsive and we have had no problem with the CRT display. The snag was with the partitioning peculiarities. When we replaced the original 6 GB hard drive with 20 GB one we had to put the system software on the first partition that had to be smaller than 8 GB.
Mac OS X 10.3.4 or panther on the first partition was perfunctory.
This iMac is used wholly for running Debian GNU/Linux “sid”.
We love the xscreensaver “molecule” — educational organic chemistry.
We use kstars regularly to track “Rosebud NGC 7129 Cepheus”
always reminding ourselves that we on Earth are so minute and insignificant.

- questions
- We are dumb; we feel so impoverished;
so loathsome having to accept aid from people whom we detest
for their crusade against us.
US warships in Selat Melaka? On humanitarian mission?
Aren't we dumb? Don't we know the crusaders' agenda?
- We are reasonably suspicious
as they insist on bilateral bribery and bullying
bypassing the UN in offerring aid which could go
into the pockets of the corrupt ones in our midst.
We are inclined to ignore "pledges" and "promises"
made only for public relations.
- Many keep asking: why?
We hace no answer. We are dumb dumb ....
We don't know what's really happening on the sea-floor.
- Our loved ones lost too soon
aren't puppets of evil or puppets of puppets of evil
like those who make lives miserable with their greed for oil,
their bullying, their warring and their massacring.
- Heartless and ruthless vultures in our midst
are resorting to children-and-women-trafficking
for abuses - prostitution, forced labor, slavery...
- We grieve about the dead; we grieve more about our people
struggling to hold on to life after so many years of work
and progress have gone with the dead. We grieve too that
this should happen to our guests on holiday here.
We are dumb; we can't fight back or shout back
at the earthquake and the entailing tsunami.

- THANK YOU
- We are indeed thankful for all the help.
- Still, we can never forget
- the cruel crusade against us.
-
- We do not forget people put in distress
- in Palestine, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Somalia,
- Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Chechnya and elsewhere.
- BBC
- coverage seemed skewed to western "aid" sending the marines
- "jatuh tangga ditimpa tangga".
- We used tp prefer "BBC" to "CNN".
Lately it seemed like American propaganda adjunct.
- timeline
- The response
- to call for help is wonderful.
- People can and do help one another.
- Why not sustain this momentum to cover aid in Africa and elsewhere for people struggling against HIV/AIDS and poverty?
- We are already poor in this region.
- A few million of us will be so marginalised
- into the next decade or two.
- The earthquake
- and entailing tsunami came and went for 1 day.
- Our people in Palestine are still struggling
- against the day by day political and economic
- disaster inflicted by Israel that is fully
- funded by Anglo-Amricans for at least 56 years.
- We are suspicious
- about this weird earthquake and tsunami.
- Reaction by the US administration followed by the Australian government sent strange signals. We don't trust these puppets of Zion.
- Our anxieties about the presence of US warships in "Selat Melaka" are rising to "alert and alarm" zones.
- Joe has raised questions we should address thoroughly.
-
- We have to move on
- and work for brighter days.
- We will pick up the pieces and begin again.
- We will do the best for survivors
- especially the children - our asset our wealth
- for the future of our region.
- We will develop the best system to help us
- prevent so many deaths the next time.
