Yeah... It's my fault.... and Mac's fault too...and also his fault...
Ok... who's fault izzit... sorry, nobody will know what i'm talking about if i dun tell u the details rite...
so, there's this Mathematic Laboratory assignment... which we use Maple(R).... and it was supposed to be handed in on Tuesday... fine...and everything was kinda smooth sailing and my groupmate and I were able to complete the assignment on Monday... Great... so, we didn't print it out as we expected to be able to print it out in the Lab itself... and hand it in immediately...cool...
but, for dunno wat the reason, the computers in the lab cannot open my file.... (maybe because i'm using a newer version of the software)... so , i told my GSI about it, and guess what, i was given 10 extra minutes to look for a printer and print it and hand in the lab report.... Questionable rite...?
so, my instinct told me to run to the nearest computer lab, 'luckily' it is just few doors away, and i found a cute Macintosh.... the white one with the LCD attached to the semisphere cpu.... and wonderfully, it has the same version of the software i'm using... so, it should be no problem, both to print it and to make it in time... but too bad, the printing gave me a weird problem... where the lab report printed has missing pages... WAT the Heck... what i am gonna do...

just to make it in time, i turned in my 'incomplete' lab report.... Wonderful.... and when i asked him whether i can turn it in slightly later, or asked him to give me another 15 minutes, so that i can RUN to another computer lab with Windows-Based Computer and try to print it and hand it in, he said :"NO."
so, what can i do, besides being pissed both on myself, the stupid Mac and that ....and that.... but being a born winner... :-), being submissive is not in my vocabulary...., i ran to another computer lab, at the undergraduate library to print the entire lab report , and thank goodness, my GSI has an open office hours from 5 - 7pm.... ooh lala.... i may be able to catch him there... and maybe with my determination and persistence, he will accept my report... after all, it's not all my fault... there's complicated technical problem involved.
and i did managed to catch him in his office hours, and after about 1 minute of deep thought , he accepted my report and but he didn't promise that it will not be penalised.... Fair... I did handed in late (slightly)... but not really, he only said that it was due on Tuesday, yesterday, but he didn't mention the time... so, who's fault is it anyway??
I rest my case.
sorry if i have hurt any Mac users or anybody elses feeling in the process of my blogging.... But the fact underlies is : The Mac and the Software gave me problem and screw me in the a**.... I do like Ipod, and the Mac mouse though...
