My Mac is homesick

Posted on Tuesday, May 29th, 2007 at 9:40pm. #

But with the new ‘Google Maps Street View’ it can see home. Aw.

Actually, I’m really rather impressed: you can ‘walk’ the streets of San Francisco, turn around, and do virtually anything.

This Mac came from the San Francisco store you see here – an impulse purchase (easily the most expensive impulse I’ve ever made!). On the right-hand side is the Virgin Megastore, the thing that brought me to that part of town (ostensibly for some copyright-free images).

It’s like memory lane, except without the long plane ride.

So gave into a new Macbook then? :-)

Not me. I bought the underpowered but still quite lovely iBook G4 two years ago.

I want a macBook, but I’m waiting for OSX Leopard, and the new LED screens.

I think I’vr been brought around myself, but going to hold off like you say. Currently on a black Macbook in Regents Street Apple Store and the screen on here is rather dissapointing for graphics manipulating tool of choice!
