(This is not actually my own iBook and you can tell because first of all mine was the total base model, not even the G4, and also because I would never have a pink comforter on my bed.)
My computer has breathed its last. Just as I was settling into my new home and had finally gotten my hands on the wireless password, a software update pushed my vintage 2001 iBook over the edge and now no matter how hard it tries it can't even find the Internet.
So much for blogging more consistently, for now. But I must take this moment to offer my sincerest thanks to Aubrie for coaching me on the ins and outs of MacBook purchasing using the educators' discount, to Ben for answering my million questions about *everything* Mac-related, and to Kevin at the Apple Store for Educators who hooked me up with my new machine, currently being custom-assembled in China and then headed this way. I even paid for the expedited trans-Pacific shipping. Yeah, baby--I cannot WAIT until it gets here!
It may be difficult to understand why this new purchase is so exciting, unless of course you have ever seen me burn through 10% of my battery just trying to check my email. I have never watched a video on my machine (oh, except for on my purple iMac, bought in 1999 when I went back to graduate school and even on there I could only watch DVDs--nothing online) and my one attempt at Skype failed miserably. This is going to be a whole new laptop world for me! Now I just have to get on timbuk2.com and order a case worthy of its new contents and I'll be all set.
