Macalicious!

This is the shot of the day – I call it 'Power Lines in the Mist'.


So last night, a VERY exciting thing happened.

I have been planning my trip next week, and working out how to do some of my design jobs while I am over in the US of A. I was scheduled to take my Dad's amazingly grunty Sony VAIO, but that fell through at the last minute, and he had to take it with him to Africa.

So that was a big bummer. I sorta let it go, and figured there'd be at least a couple of people over there with a Mac I could borrow. (Cause I'd hate to try and find all my software for PC and install it by then). But I hoped that it would sort itself out, and Liz (my older sister) said that she knew it would all work out.

Anyways - last night, while talking to a member of the worship team at the music practice, she mentioned that her husband had just had to upgrade to a MacBook (which are from the devil, by the way), and was selling his old iBook for $800! I rang him and checked all the specs. It has the same processor, OS, and RAM capacity as my Maccy at home, and it's small, wiped clean, with case and chargers, etc, ready for me to pick up this weekend and take overseas!

PERFECT! I can use my current software on it (stupid new Intel DuoCore), and use it for all my basic needs while I'm there. And if I don't end up using it much on the long-term basis, heck - it was only $800, and my sisters can use it for studying and what have you.

But it'll come in handy with showing stuff to clients and all. And I know most of you are thinking how old it is, and how I should probably have bought a new G5 tower or something by now. But it's fine for what I need right now, and one day, when I have recovered from Apple's cruel overhaul, I will update my stuff.

The great thing about this development is that it's an answer to prayer. Except that I wasn't really even praying for it - I'd given up on getting one in a week's time. So God just really met my needs without me stressing out or worrying at all.

Thankyou, God.


Now, what to call the iBook. Mac Junior?

And I know that they say, 'The best things in life aren't things', but what with my iBook, iRiver, new phone and all, I'm pretty wrapped.

One week from today, guys...
