Chicago’s snow

Thursday & Friday was awful in Chicago in terms of weather. We had close to a foot of snow. When I drove my car on Friday morning I was running late and did not shovel my driveway on the way back home around 6:30Pm I was dreading coming back home since I had to shovel a foot of snow(mind you I don’t have a snow blower).

I came in to find out that my neighbor had cleared my driveway and the walkpath :-) . So thank you winston for being such a good neighbor.

parallels

I own a mac IBook and really like it. However, I have few applications which run only on windows. So I finally purchased parallels and am now running windows on it. So far its been pretty good. However one thing that I noticed is parallels really hog up the memory and CPU. If you are planning on running it and doing other things on MAC you might not be pleased at the performance.

I think now I can get rid of my old Dell laptop
