the ibook look..

Having realised that I'd probably need a laptop for work reasons, my purchase was hastened when we worked out we're going to San Diego for our anniversary in November and I'd need to keep working from there. Plus, the wonderful gd had an Apple-employee-only deal he wanted to cut us in on. Thus, I'm now the proud owner of an Apple iBook - the newest white 12" model, in a standard but lovable configuration.

I've only had it since yesterday, but boy, it's impressive. Even before the Apple deal, it's seriously well-priced compared to the competition, the size and design is second-to-none, it's beautifully user-friendly, and.. well, all of you have probably seen them, it's like me ranting about how cars are cool because they can move really fast and are shiny. And since I'm not a 'power user' (tools of trade: web browser, IRC client, email program, word processor), the basic iBook fits me perfectly. I also discovered there seem to be some open WiFi networks in my apartment complex, after installing the Airport card :P But I'll be good and secure and go get my own wireless basestation, don't worry.
