For those who know me, they know my Powerbook broke recently.
It really sucked. I had a nice new Macbook Pro and iPhone at my last job, and had to give them back when I got laid off. Luckily I had my own, trusty Powerbook.
My entire technological life was on there, plus a bit of my personal life. I kept music, family photos, Tremorworks files … everything on there.
Since breaking, I’ve jumped from old laptop to old laptop. Each one getting the open source treatment to try and suit my needs. While I have to say I can still do some things I need to do on them, they don’t suit ALL my needs at all. I had become hooked on Mac, and once you go Mac you can never go back.
So that puts me where I am now. Using a kick ass Linux machine at work, a crappy Linux Celeron laptop at home, and hoping that one day I can afford to own a Mac laptop again. With a house, family, and bills, it doesn’t look to likely that it will happen in the near future.
I continue to chug along, making do with what I have and being thankful that I at least have that. Someday, though, my Mac in shining aluminum will come.
It‘s quite in here! Why not leave a response?
