Rainy Days and Mondays
Today is both a rainy day and a Monday, but it's far from getting me down. I imagine this will be the last entry I post from my dearly beloved computer, Maxx the Mac, as Maxx will be going into retirement (just like me!) later today. The Apple Store opens at 10:00, and I'm going there this morning to buy my MacBook Pro, courtesy of those last 25 sick days I didn't take. (Imagine what I could get if I had had hundreds of sick days left, like most other people!) I was going to get the biggest hard drive I could -- 320g -- remembering the old advice that you get the most memory you can afford. And then I thought and thought and thought, and I also need iPhone memory. Hmmm. So I thought about the 250g hard drive, which saves $300, and a 16g iPhone, which is $199. And that's what I'm going to do. With any luck, the new iPhone will be ready to go when I leave the store, with all my stuff on it, since I could be without Maxx or Pro Maxx for a day or two, while they copy over my docs and settings. I'm not trading in either of my older devices, since I won't get that much for them. I'll reformat Maxx and reinstall the operating system, and have s spare upstairs for quick Internet lookups. As for the old phone, I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
Pro Maxx has a webcam. Heh heh.
Considere the possibility of donating old computers and phones to agencies that make use of them. Obviously, you delete all personal stuff.
ReplyDeleteThose of us who are fortunate enough to get new things forget that the old ones may be "gold" for people who have none.
Sounds like you have a perfectly delightful Rainy Monday going! Good for you!! I opted for the 16GB iPhone, but I'm pretty sure I'll never, ever fill it up....{famous last words}.
