Insanity . . . subsiding

05/03/05 | by [mail] | Categories: computer/tech

I'm not going trade my computer in. With the discount I would lose and the restocking fee I would pay, it would cost me around $300. I was already planning on upgrading my RAM (an extra gig rather than 256 MB) and when I need more hard drive space I'll get a USB 2 external drive. The processor speed bump was minor, the video RAM only matters in video games (which I don't plan to do much of) and the wi-fi isn't worth much when the computer is two feet from my ethernet switch anyway. So I'm going to keep my computer and continue to be very happy with it. The price for the older iMacs like I have has dropped to $1299, so I can get back the difference between that and what I paid. If you're thinking about getting a Mac, this is a good time to make the switch, whether you're getting the newest iMacs or you can find one like I have for $1299.

Glad to hear about your decision! Just focus on having fun and learning new ways to use it, and you’ll be content I’m sure.
