Users of the Apple Mac are looking forward to the release of Snow Leopard this week, the new version of their operating system. I've been watching the news of this in my Twitter stream and gather that it will cost an Apple user £25 to upgrade. So in a way, those of us who use free open source operating systems have saved money yet again, we are £25 up, but what to do with it? Here are some ideas:
-
Trolley dash in a pound shop
-
Make yourself sick on flapjacks
-
Take your partner for 2 1/2 meals at a 2 for £10 restaurant
-
Buy a take away and a bottle of gin
-
Go to a concert by a local
-
Buy two Girls Aloud CDs
-
Take a couple of suitcases on a Ryanair flight
-
Drink champagne
-
Buy a remote control helicopter
-
Buy a slanket
-
Buy some books for your holiday reading
-
Buy a bottle of perfume
-
Buy two MP3 players
-
Get the luxury car wash option - more than once
-
Drive through London and pay the congestion charge
-
Go to the cinema and buy pick'n'mix
-
Change the £25 for pound coins and play draughts
-
Go ice skating just over four times
-
Get two haircuts if you are a man or the first few minutes of a haircut if you are a woman
-
Take a taxi somewhere
-
Get a pay as you go mobile phone
-
Complete several circuits of a miniature railway
-
Buy a three wolf T-shirt
-
Buy a a second hand of DVD box set Coast series 1-3

Buy Liam a decent OS!

Treat myself to some Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee! No point having an expensive OS if you haven't got the blue-mountain-induced brainpower to use it :)

Sponsor @iusher on his crazy cycle ride. (http://www.justgiving.com/GoIan/) If you gift aid it, it will be worth even more.
