I have to apologise for the lack of any update over the last few weeks - basically it's because I've been mourning my beloved Mac.For months it had been crashing, stalling, refusing to start up and generally displaying worrying signs that all was not well in its little world.
Admittedly, it was so old in computer years that I was expecting a telegram to arrive any day from the Queen and Steve Jobs, but after one final - and rather monumental - hissy last weekend, it shut itself down and has remained sulking ever since. No amount of button pressing, cajoling, or re-installing will raise it from its cyber slumber.
There was nothing for it but to weigh up the cost implications or repair against renew. The latter won and I'm typing this on my teeny, tiny, new net book.
I hate to admit this while my Mac sits in the study - its keyboard still warm from my touch - but I love this dinky, little delight that responds to my every need and fits happily in my handbag.
The only downside? I had to buy it on my credit card. I know, don't say it...
Did I say one word ???
ReplyDeleteI think if you use a cc correctly then they are the most wonderful invention, if you max them out as I did and then stick your head in the sand when it comes to paying them off, then they are the Devils invention.
I am currently using an Ibook G4 which my Son gave me it,s a few years old but I,m loving it. It took me a while to make the transition from Microsoft to apple but now I,m finding it much easier.
Great to see you posting again.
I'm still hanging my head in shame! Although in the past I've spent more on a pair of shoes than I did on this net book.
ReplyDeleteGlad you love your IBook - once you go Mac, you never go back... x
