This may be the last time I post from this computer! *mixed feelings*

My trusty iBook, which has been with me since, hmm, summer of 2001, has been having major issues lately. And I've been struggling to ignore them since a) new shiny things cost much money, and b) I love this machine. I am really truly emotionally attached to it, as it has been through much with me and is still a sweet, streamlined, beautiful piece of design. (It still gets comments from people at work. And its keyboard/work surface is nicer than the new ones.) So I kept putting off the possible purchase date of a new one.

But...I've been talked into it. I do need a laptop, and it's no use having a portable computer you can't transport. And I have a day off today, because of working till wee hours this morning so...

We're going to the Apple store!

*bounce*

*nervous petting of current machine, hoping there are no hard feelings*

Looking at the new iBook though. Don't have the money for PowerBook, as Wesley does. :)

Shiny!!

Did it!
I am now the proud owner of a new MacBook.
It really is shiny. It's got a glossy screen. It's positively lickable.

The two are sitting next to each other. Earlier this afternoon, the new one enslaved the old (I kid you not, it's called Slave mode) and everything's transferred over, all my emails, accounts, files etc.
Haven't played a lot with the new exciting stuff on this one, but I look forward to it in the next days to weeks. The processor speed improvement is really nice.

And to check that out - I'm now going to goof off the rest of the night and play Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. And try not to die this time.
