    You know Gizmodo has damaged you somehow when you read 'flashlight' more than once to make sure you got the vowel straight.

    Q: How many software engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

    A: Just one. But it takes them all night. And when they're done, the washing machine doesn't work right.

    And if you're not into plants the bulb can also be used to make an oil lamp.

    Try and install Leopard. That should keep you busy for a while. Hint. You might need just more memory.

    The Apple version will be better but will have a white bezel and cost 3x more. It will also only have one knob instead of two and when you shake it Steve Jobs will personally murder you.
