I finally got my own Mac
I found an iBook on eBay and got a really good deal. I have been wanting one of these things for over 3 years and my patience has paid off. The only issue is the screen flickers when I adjust the display. I know what causes it, so I ordered a part and it should be here on Friday. Then I am going to take it apart and replace the bad part and upgrade the hard drive!
I ordered more memory for it, but they sent the wrong part, I sent it back and I should have the correct part next week. It is such a bummer getting the wrong thing. I prefer going to a store and buying stuff, but I can find better deals online. The hard part is patiently waiting for parts to arrive. I have found some sites offer 2-day shipping for 5 bucks extra. They are making a little extra cash for my impatience.
I also got a Flickr account. You can find it at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jamescouncil
I now have a place online to easily show off my pictures. At first I wasn’t sure about Flickr, but now I like it as a one stop spot to keep stuff.
So I have been a little busy buying, fixing, organizing, upgrading and along with that I am working on other people’s Macs and hiding in coffee shops with free wifi.
