Just got home from work a little while ago, and after a day of fixing other people’s computers, what am I doing? Fixing my own lol I’m re installing OS X on the iBook I bought recently. When I bought it, it had a fresh install, but some of the files were corrupted some how, so I finally have a chance to sit down and get it working and that is what I’m doing, that and drinking even more coffee than normal.

Well after much searching I finally found a reasonably priced used Mac laptop, and today, I bought it. It’s nothing fancy…a iBook G3, but it’s something for me to use to get acclimated to the Mac OS, before dropping big bucks on a new MacBook. Hopefully it doesn’t take me too long to get adjusted, I already have it up and running with the wireless network in my house, so now I just need to dive in and see what else I can learn.

Well I have been considering it for over a year now, and today I decided I am going to go ahead and take the plunge and buy my first Mac. My reasons are fairly simple, I have been interested in seeing what all the fuss is about, plus, I have been in the computer industry for many years now, but have yet to move beyond a good knowledge of Windows, and a small knowledge of Linux. So with all that in mind I am setting out on a search to buy a decent used Mac laptop. I had considered buying a brand new one, but would rather start slow by getting something a little more reasonably priced and if things go well, then dropping the 2 grand on a new one.
