old/new

Today I went to the shop to go pick up my baby, who I haven’t seen in almost a month, she got really sick you see. I walked in, handed in the slip of paper, the guy go gets it, by this point I REALLY couldn’t wait to see her. Then the guy comes back with a box. A BOX. This could only mean one thing, my baby is dead. We’ve been together through thick and thin, through watching movies to writing my extended essay, for almost 3 years. I didn’t even get to say goodbye to her.

Even though I used to scream at her when she wasn’t doing what she was suppose to be doing, she was still my baby.

She will be missed.

corny shit.

ANYWAY. Back to the box. Inside the box was my new baby. According to the guy at the counter, my old onewas really fucked up, so yeah, insurance people decided to give me a new one.

First thought: Crap. They’re giving me the same one.. that’s so slow… that’s soo…

2 seconds late: Wait, WHAT? A new one?? Wowwww..

me: Is it the exact same one as my old one?

guy: Oh No.. no.. no.. this one is much better! *looks at paper* A lot better!

me:

Things like this don’t usually happen to me.

Even though I had to pay 590 Danish kroner ($122), something to do with me breaking my old computer, it sure is cheaper than a brand new one.

So yeah, I am now writing this entry on my brand new baby.

It’s weird, somehow I can’t treat it like my own yet. I feel like they’re gonna come a be like, “actually we want that back“…  But yeah, I’m soo thankfull I have my own computer now. I don’t have to sit in the computer room with the uncomfortable chairs, I don’t have to borrow Michael’s laptop (thank you soo much by the way!), and I can now get back to my online life. haha.

Anywhoooo…. This has been a good day lately.

Advice: Always get insurance on your electronics! Even though it’s pretty expensive, it is worth it. My camera broke, got it fixed for free. My old computer broke, got it fixed for free. It broke again, got a new one

Until next time, for now I shall enjoy the new laptop smell.

Mac or PC?

To switch or not to switch?

I’ve been contemplaitng on the idea of switching to a Mac for the past couple of months. Since school is almost over and I’m about to start university, I need a new computer because my present computer is:

(a)really REALLY slow

(b) shuts down randomly

(c) 30GB hard drive

(d) battery life of around 10 minutes.

I’ve had it for almost 3 years now and I’ve had to reformat it twice and sent it for repair once.. but still. I can’t keep up with the whole anti-virus, anti-spywear, and firewall stuff. Scanning my computer once a week. I just want a computer where I can write stuff on, listen to music, store pictures, go online.. and not take 5 minutes to boot up.

So now, I’ve considered switching to a MacBook. No hassle with anti virus stuff, the magnetic cord (which I think is the best, I can’t even count anymore how many times I’ve tripped over the wire, so far my computer only fell twice), it’s userfriendly (from what I’ve read about). I dunno, I just want one that’s hassle free and fast and so far a MacBook seems to be it. I’ve been reading reviews and watchiing videos about MacBooks and so far, I like it.

Thing is, I’ve been using a PC all my life. I don’t think I even remember touching a Mac. Ok, maybe back in 5th grade in the library, I was sitting infront of a Mac and couldn’t really figure out how to work the mouse coz it just looked like a really pretty glass paper weight.. but I am willing to make the change.

So if anyone has ANY suggestion on what laptop I should get or why I shouldn’t get a Mac tell me.. I still have 5 months before I’m off to University so yeah.. lot’s of time.
