An Apple a day…
Friday, June 4th, 2004 (4 years, 2 months ago)
This is the first post on this website brought to you by my new laptop. I went for the 15.2″ Apple PowerBook with the back-lit keyboard. I got a pretty nice deal (as nice a deal one gets from Apple) with a free RAM upgrade, free printer, and a little more than $100 off their normal educational prices. It was still pretty expensive compared to a PC, but most Apple owners would probably tell me never to compare an Apple to a PC.
The shipping was pretty damn fast— especially considering I had it shipped with their free shipping rate. I thought it would take a long time when I checked the tracking system and it said it had left from China in the early AM of June 3rd. But then I got it before noon on June 4th!
Speaking of shipping, the FedEx website tracking was actually useful. Unlike some OTHER crap, where they only tell you when it left and when it was delivered (Yeah, thanks a lot).
Anyway, time to get used to my new productivity-machine. Expect a new design in the future— to be done 100% with this laptop. I plan to use my PowerBook for work, so I might as well have a nice “practice” run with it.
