Last week I acquired a sizable stock of sundries that a neighbor vacating my building left behind. Unopened boxes of pasta and jars of sauce, dessert mixes, soup, and the like. I checked the expiration date on everything, but some non-perishables don't have one. Thanks BHT!
An un-dated, (and therefore, unexpired) box of Skillet Chicken Helper found its way into my cupboard with the rest. Its loud yellow and red Ronald McDonald color scheme should have tipped me off that it was pretty old. When I decided to cook up the contents of the package with some grilled not-chicken strips, I noticed the absence of the familiar "Nutrition Facts" banner on the label. Plain old nutrition information stats were printed on the side panel, pre-1993 style. Copyright date on the box: 1991. The inside flap was also stamped with a print date of 11-27-91.
After careful inspection of the well-sealed rice and dried vegetable/bouillon packets, I decided to eat the stuff anyway. It didn't taste good, of course, but it wasn't bad either. As I ate, I couldn't help thinking about all the events that have passed in the last 15 years, while that box has been sitting on a shelf in my apartment building. Tasty memories...
Note to self: This information may prove very useful in the future, if I ever have to stock a bomb shelter.
What about the 13" macbooks? They're pretty tiny...
I apparently need one for work pronto too though. Am curently trying to make a database in WORD, b/c the computers I have access too don't have excel. WTF kind of office is that?! So I'm going to take in my very old ibook and try to make do with that...
You know what I wanna know about the iphone- will you be able to install your own programs, like you can on the treo. Hmmm.
Your experiences bear a striking resemblance to the UHF "Wheel of Fish" sketch.
I'm in the same boat with the macbook issues. I was really hoping for a 12" pro sub-notebook to be debuted at Macworld, as the other offerings are not quite as compelling. The iPhone's an interesting idea, but I was really expecting more from Macworld. Alas, I'll probably have to settle for a 15" monster cause I need one for work pronto.
