Wanted: Change (and a new 'puter)
I'm ready for more change. I wasn't for a while because some change hurts too much (you know, losing people). But now I feel like I'm ready for something different. Question is, how drastic shall the changes be? Home, work, relationships, even health, are all areas that have been the same for a long time. I'm ready for something new, including a new computer. The quest for change is also spiritual, meaning I have spiritual reasons and will use spiritual methods for change.
Reformatting the hard drive was an attempt on my part to stop my aging iMac from freezing so frequently (seems to have helped). I have outgrown my pretty G4 iMac, the one that stands like a reading lamp. Too many files, and too many photos and work wanted to do on them. But first things first: Pay off the vacation's credit card debt(s) while drooling over this.

Oh! And the haircut looks great! I love the color. Here in the States, EVERYONE has light highlights in their hair lately, so I'm very tired of looking at them (I hope you're on the leading edge of a new trend!).
Alice, I've never been trendy, but I got tired of looking at my highlights, too. :-)
I have highlights in my hair - but they're natural... and grey. lol More like silver. Gotta send out an email pic like Beep did soon.
I'm *really* up for some change, tired of being sad and depressed alla time (losing people sux), and I've also been thinking about a new 'puter - but that will definitely have to wait (see recent emails re: union situation). Of course, I'd recommend a Dell. lol. Like hell, you say. ;) ;)
Perhaps you could sell the clamshell to a Mac enthusiast? Those are so classic...
Those new iMacs are sweet. I have a 17" MacBook Pro as my work computer, and love everything about it except the size. It's actually too big -- I'm hoping to downgrade to a 15". Otherwise, it's awesome. Especially since I can boot into Windows on the rare occasion that the need arises. At home I have a dual 2.5ghz G5 tower. Blazing!
And yes, I do want a blazing Mac of my own at home. :-)
We want a Mac, too, but don't really have the extra change just yet. Gotta make sure the kiddos have what they need first, ya know . . . but maybe that long-bearded, drunkened, jolly and fattened elf from Drøbak might drop one under the tree this year.
Tell Santa to check out used Macs. Like at http://brukt1.no/. If you need Windows, get a used Intel-Mac. Else anything up to two years old will serve you well, especially if it's a tower (those are expandable).
