Well, I went and did it. I got a new used computer. It’s a Mac Mini, and it’s a early 2009 model, which is pretty exciting for me, because I haven’t had a computer that was almost new! This one is pretty cool… it’s got half the max meg… 2 mg ram…. and it’s got a 500 gig hard drive instead of my little old laptop with it’s 30 gig. (yeah… 30…) And it’s got a DVD read-write drive…. shesh, it makes ya hot chocolate in bed!* Honest!
(Okay, no, I don’t think it does that but it probably could you know… it’s that sweeeet!)
And one of the nice things is that it is loaded with software as well that I use all the time… Dreamweaver, Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and all that stuff as well as Final Cut Pro, some video processing software and music recording software. I’m just as excited to be updating all my super old software that I use every day in my businesses. It’s a good thing.
I’ll have to buy a monitor for it, but I’ve seen some really nice big wide screen ones on sale at Best Buy… I’ve been watching Craigslist as well, but people don’t seem to be selling used monitors.
Well, I just have to wait now… I bought it from a place in Canada of all things… through Ebay. They had a perfect rating and have been around on Ebay for awhile, so I’m not too worried. More worried about getting it through customs and all that stuff, but it was expideted shipping, so hopefully that will help things to move along. I’ll be so busy anyways for a few more days with all the holiday rush, so it’s okay to wait a bit. Afterall, when it comes, I’m going to want to play around with it!!!
My older laptop is going to migrate to Jessy as her computer died a few months ago. She needs a good laptop for college, so it will have a great life with her. It’s getting old, it’s 6 years old. But it works great for papers and email and internet and all that stuff. And it does have a wireless card so it works great for her and her needs.
Ah… a new computer! I can’t believe it… it’s worth all the super hard work the last 6 weeks! And upgrading equipment and software is a good thing. It will allow me to do a lot more and also to earn a bit more towards hopefully getting our land for the moby!!! All a good good thing!!!
