Her name is iSabelle and don't judge us.
GOOD EVENING INTER-NET WORLD. TONIGHT I AM COME TO YOU THROUGH MY iBOOK. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME MY iBOOK HAS BEEN ONLINE SINCE COLLEGE GOT OUT. I AM PLEASED WITH THIS.
Since I have a crush on Safari. Fastest web-browser ever. Not as flashy and fancy and user-friendly as Mozilla Firefox, which I still hold a candle for, but it's seriously my favorite Application on my Hard Drive right now. So sleek and quick and neat. My home PC unit still rocks the Fox like a straight-up playa, so I can get my fix of playing around with the fun extensions. A nice set up.
What I need badly now is the Airport Wireless hardware for my iBook, so I don't have to worry about messy cables, or setting up accounts with local area servers or any of that nonsense. Just find a pretty Wi-fi server and go with the flow. I don't have anywhere near the wallet for the Airport Base Station but it's a possible future investment. Distant future,
So I hear it's the new "thing" to name your Hard Drive. Is this true? Does a Hard Drive need personality? By what criteria should you name it? I'm not sure I quite get it, but I've renamed the "Macintosh HD" icon on my Desktop to be: Macintizzle H-Dizzle.
You know, something to get started with. Maybe I'll give it a personal real name, like Jeremy, or something, and refer to my iBook as "Jeremy" from then on. Would that be weird? What if it were a girl's name, and I were to pretend to be in a relationship with it?
Okay. That is weird.
I mean, I love my iBook just as much as the next Mac junkie would. I've been slowly converted to the Apple religion since owning it. I'm even starting to get some tech-geek stuff down. Not too much though, I'm not ashamed to admit to running to more OSX-savvy friends for tech support.
One thing I don't like about my iBook would be the keyboard. It's too easy to break the keys. Within hours of owning my iBook, I got a finger underneath the "T" key during some intensive typing and it's been loose and on the verge of snapping off since. The letters on the keys also rub off with time. Seriously, my "L" is only a portion of the bottom line and my "O" looks like a retarded "C". Ridiculous. The other letters are holding up though.
Another thing would be the casing. Pretty, white, reflective. All surface appeal. After months of owning my lovely laptop, the casing has stains and smudges that are difficult to remove, the screen is always dusty or marked somehow. After too many dings and scratches and such, I may just go with Corey Anderson's plan with his laptop and just modge-podge it straight to hell.
I haven't gotten to that point though. Not yet. iSabelle and I will be just fine together for the time being. I love iSabelle and don't want her to change. Not yet.
Parting gift: Possibly the funniest god damn Achewood strip both in and out of context.
