Killing Time
Posted: Fri Mar 25, 2005 2:38 pm
Okay, I have to share this one:
I misread my schedule for work today and showed up FIVE HOURS EARLY. They didn't want me here then, so I had some time to kill. I bicycled over to my friendly local community college and went into the public lab.
Seeing it pretty much deserted, I sat down to print myself a copy of OVA. This takes a while. (132 pages!)
The total damage:
PDF Version of OVA: $9.95
Cheap plastic folder to carry it home in, because you don't have anything else to use: $0.97
Getting the printer to print a 43 meg PDF, double-sided: 2 1/2 hours.
Holding a hardcopy of OVA in your hands, and admitting how much of a geek you are: Priceless
