I unboxed my Mac last night and discovered a few things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It takes up all the space on my craft table<\/li>\n
  2. It still works like a charm<\/li>\n
  3. I have a faulty memory. Sometime in the past I was able to get the OS upgraded to OS X.1.5, not OS X.0.5<\/li>\n
  4. It takes next to no time to remember how to navigate and use OS 9 (system has a dual boot)<\/li>\n
  5. It has a longish boot up sequence that is just a smidge longer than the boot sequence of my relatively new 2GHz dual core, 4MB RAM, etc. laptop running Vista<\/li>\n
  6. Point 5 is really depressing when you consider that the Mac is well over a decade old and the PC laptop is just over a year old.\u00a0 Repeat after me, “Vista is a giant piece of pooh”<\/li>\n
  7. I can’t find the original installation disks for AppleWorks 6<\/li>\n
  8. All the software is working fine on it<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Some trips down memory lane are well worth the time\/space required for unboxing.<\/p>\n

    I still want a shiny big MacBook though. Going to have to make a final decision soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
