The One About MacBooks

Inori is officially hating CJ-person for blogging about MacBooks.

A lil’ intro on the current terminal Inori is using:

  • It’s a D-I-Y pc.
  • It’s about….. 3 years old.
  • It can’t display games like THE SIMS 2 because the;
  • Graphics card sucks and the;
  • Sound card also sucks
  • It cannot even play DVDs because, it just can’t.

Well okaaaayyy.. to be fair to it, it has not been giving me many problems so far. But it really is time to get me a mac.

Why a mac? Because Inori loves macs.

I used to have an iMac G3, you know those cute lil’ transparent colorful gay ones that are oh-so-lovable and also very obsolete? I had the purple one. Mine was the first generation of the slot-cd-drive-thingy (Have I mentioned before that I’m not computer savvy? Be warned that terms I give to computer…thingies… may cause you to want to bang your head against the wall. Repeatedly).

You’d think he looked cool with just a slot in his casing as a cd-drive, eating in the cds just! Like! That! Until he decided never out spit the cds out after 4 years of abuse.

He lasted one more year before he died on us. We had to make do with standing by with a pair of tweezers, pressing “Butterfly-E”, and gripping the edges of the cd when it tries to come out. Then, we’d YANK the cd out. (That explains why for one entire year, the edges of my cds were badly scratched.)

You may notice the pronoun I use for the iMac, is “He”.

Yes. As with most Mac users, we give names to them. His name was Mackey. Not very original, I know. CJ’s Mac is christened Xiaobai.

So, poor gay purple Mackey is all bundled up and hiding under some cupboard at my mom’s place. :(

Due to my lack of funds, I was unable to purchase another Apple. Have been pining for one ever since Mackey’s death.

Nad, if you are reading this, well, TAKE THE HINT!

I shall wait for some guinea pigs kind people to buy and test out the new MacBooks first. Then I shall wait for the reviews and decide.

My next Mac shall be a girl. Perhaps, she’ll be named Lutetia.

*Lutetia is Greek for “Paris”, also the element Lutetium (Atomic number 71) was named after it.
