Getting; got an iBook.

In preparing for what was to be my future purchase, I scoured and glossed over multitudes of Apple and Mac-related websites to learn all I could before the inevitable purchase of my iBook. The downside to this, however, is that I tend to get too excited and then I get the urge to rush things.

And that's exactly what happened. Not bearing to wait any longer, I headed over to the nearest AppleCentre (located at MidValley, but I think the nearest to my house would actually be in Ikano Power Centre, but I digress) and told the good man who approached me that I was interested in a 12" iBook G4. He didn't even need to give his marketing pitch. I knew what he was going to say and he knew I knew.

After the business of swapping money was settled, he went to the back of the store and brought out a new, white iBook G4 box and a 256MB RAM chip. He sat on some benches (how cool; it's so informal this way), and proceeded to install the RAM chip in my iBook. After doing so, he booted the virgin iBook and proceeded to perform all the initial setup steps before showing me the ropes on my new notebook PC.

The guy, Steve (how appropriate), was a real friendly guy, and told me he'd been working there for half a year now. I asked him if he used a Mac at home for his personal use and he replied, "of course!". Don't you just love the passion of these Mac guys?

So, yeah, anyway, I am now a proud owner of a brand new 12" iBook G4. How is it? Great! In fact, this blog post is being typed on my iBook, using it's excellent WiFi capabilities and utilising my WiFi-enabled internet access at home. Pretty sweet.
