One Dropped iBook Later…

Well someone had a little accident with his computer on the 21st: I kinda dropped my poor, defensless little iBook. I went to pick up my laptop bag and someone *coughmecough* forgot to zip up the laptop compartment. So everything fell out in a wonderful display of stupidity.
It was working fine until I tried to plug the VGA in; it did the blue between changing resolutions and never came out of it. Poor thing. And it seems that all the fiddling we did made the hard drive controllers die or something along that line. Can’t find a hard drive in the OS X install CD or anywhere else. So I decided:
TIME TO GET A MACBOOK PRO!!!!! That was my intention for most of my money anyway, but it looks like I may be able to get it a little earlier than I thought. Very exciting.
But for now I’m stuck with just a PC. I’m actually coping pretty well. I have most of the stuff working (email, newsfeeds, aim, iTunes), just not with that Mac touch. Besides iTunes, which is of course a mac program. I even got my ipod to behave with a lil app called MacDrive. Very nice.
So for Christmas I hope I get mostly money, cause I’m gonna need it; for both my car and for this little slice of heaven…
Merry X-Mas Everyone
