guilt-free

[a_clear_job]

growing up as a kid, a teenager, and even a young adult, i have always tried to be frugal because i didn't have a wealthy upbringing when i was younger, and so i came to appreciate characteristics like practical, and long-lasting, and hand-me-downs. i only recently realized that i have reached a point in my life where i can afford to indulge in

are you making fun of me? :(

[stoof]

Yes! Why don't you splurge (guiltlessly) and get a NEW powerbook?

yes yes, i realize the irony. and i acknowledge that the underlying guilt is hard to rid myself of altogether, but that was not the rationale for specifying a used powerbook. in fact, the rationale is multi-fold;

1. i'm not a mac user. i'm not a convert. i'm not addicted to them. i don't want to have steve jobs' babies. the last time i was seriously into apple was when the apple macintosh came out in 1984. i've never even owned an ipod. i don't want to jump right in, i want to test the waters; try one out, see what it can do for me, mostly music-production-wise.
2. corollary to point #1, i don't need to spend $1000-$2000 on something i just want to try out.
3. even if i wanted a brand new powerbook, i don't even have $1000-$2000, and probably won't for a long time.
4. most importantly, i know someone who wants to sell their powerbook.
