Nice and shiny

prettygoodyearToday was the day I sold my iMac and MacBook and got a new MacBook Pro for it in return! It was weird to part with them both, but I'm a sentimental bitch like that. I still feel a bit guilty for just dropping them off like that, even though I thanked them a million times for all they have done!
Anyway...when we arrived at the store/office the guy who I'd been emailing with back and forth found out, to his horror, he actually ordered the wrong MacBook Pro, or even didn't order at all. So...I just stood there, confused and upset. He was SUPER nice though and gave me some space and time to think. In the end he was willing to pay for both Macs, he even paid more than we agreed on and I could buy the MacBook Pro somewhere else. He even phoned a store nearby to see if they still had them. Which was the case!
So...now I'm typing from my new, fast, MacBook Pro. Transferring files from the Time Machine backup didn't go how I planned it (if I would have just acted patiently, no issues there), but in the end everything was transferred just fine. It took less than an hour to install the backup, then everything just worked as usual. Am really happy with it!
This one will have to last for a few years, but I think it will. Two video cards, 4GB of intern memory, 320GB hard disk, bigger screen (15") and just lovely.

Date: 28/2/10 08:55 (UTC)I think I'd feel sad/sentimental too... I did when I got a new ipod! I really needed the extra space but was so sad to let go of Milky Joe. I gave him to my sister which I thought was a nice thing to do, but she doesn't look after her things very well so he got all extra scratched and munted and doesn't work very well at all anymore :(
lol oh the guilt
