The Beast…
27 Feb 2003 | Comments (1)Well, yesterday I took a paid vacation… I figured that there was no work for me to do at school so what the heck! Sitting at home doing nothing is better than sitting at school doing nothing… Besides, my new computer was scheduled to arrive…
It was strange, but I had a busy morning… Within half an hour I had three deliveries, but the last one was the one I was waiting for…
Here’s a picture:
Oh, it’s a beast!!! More computer than I deserve…
Test Day…
25 Feb 2003 | Comments (3)Well, today is test day here at Kawase High School… Not much for me to do except play on the Internet and mess around with Photoshop… It’s pretty boring, actually… I really wish I had something important to do…
Well, I did manage to make an interesting picture. Here it is:
That’s a combination of concept drawings and schematics for the new and improved Kawase High School. Actually, the construction is almost finished now… It’s not my best Photoshop work, but I pretty much made this picture from scratch…
Mac Daddy?
20 Feb 2003 | Comments (0)Well tonight will be the grand finale of one of the most difficult auctions I have ever participated in… I am trying to win a new 1.25 GHz Desktop Power Mac… It’s the newer model and it’s pimped out to the max! The competition has been fierce, but I think I have a chance… As I write this, there are only two hours left in the auction… So far, I am still winning… I really hope I can pull this off! This is the system of my dreams!
Wish me luck!
Update:
Ok guys! I did it!!! I can’t believe it, but I actually won!!! Honestly, this is the best deal I have ever gotten on a Macintosh. It clocked in at just under $1,400 US!!! The normal price in America is $1999.99 and that’s without the extras! I am still in shock…
A lot of people are interested so here are the specs:
- Dual 1.25 GHz Power Mac G4
- 1.25 GB PC2700 333MHz DDR SDRAM
- Super Drive
- Combo Drive (2nd Bay)
- 80 GB + 80 GB Hard Drives
Wow, this is one yummy machine… It’s model number M8840LL/J, so it’s the newer, quieter model with Fire Wire 800 and Airport Extreme support… I’ll be ordering an airport card today…
Anyways, I sold my Power Book on Saturday morning… I’ll miss it. It was one of the finest computers I ever owned and that’s saying a lot! I went through eleven Macs last year alone! This one will be remembered… Anyways, I won’t have home email capability until I get my new machine. Should be by mid-week or so…
Culture Note,
- The “J” in model number M8840LL/J refers to the Japanese domestic model… Basically the computer is the same, but the documentation is in Japanese.
- Airport is called Air Mac in Japan… Strange, huh?
Update:
The monster machine will arrive on Wednesday… I can hardly contain myself…
Update:
The monster machine has arrived… It truly is a beast! Perhaps it’s more computer than any human deserves…
