NEW COMPUTER!!!!! ...wait....
pros and cons
So, my beautiful, loving mother gave me her iBook that she no longer uses. This will be very handy for school, for why:
What I have failed to mention is that this beautiful machine was COVERED IN DOG HAIR, COFFEE STAINS, AND SOME UN-IDENTIFIED STICKY ORANGE SUBSTANCE. I should have taken a picture of it. It was so disgusting. XD I spent about six hours yesterday taking it apart and cleaning it. Most of that time was spent taking apart and cleaning the keyboard; I must have pulled enough dog hair out of that thing to build another dog. X)! If you are still having difficulty imagining this, let me put it this way: no amount of canned air could have saved that thing X_____X I had to clean it with q-tips.
After I had finished and put everything back together, Max looked at it and said "Wow, it looks like a completely different computer!" And seriously, it did @___@ yes, before and after pictures probably would have helped.
So, my beautiful, loving mother gave me her iBook that she no longer uses. This will be very handy for school, for why:
- It's half the wieght of my other laptop, so taking it around campus won't be a problem.
- The art depo only uses Macs. Now I have one.
- It has an airport card (integrated wireless), whereas with my other laptop, I had to use a PCMCIA adaptor.
- It is a sexy looking machine. Macs, if you haven't noticed, have achieved an aesthetic that PCs consistantly lack. Although it is scratched up quite a bit, but that just means that I can cover it in stickers. XD
