apple day
edited january 13: yay! it's alive! it's alive! i'm so happy, i could just kiss you, little pbook! i cannot believe that you are fine and back to your old self, little pbook... let's keep you away from any kind of liquid from now on, hokay?
the bad news: don't die little powerbook, don't die
i spilled some tea on my powerbook last night. i really have no idea if it's damaged; after spilling, i immediately pulled out the battery, wiped the damp/wet bits with a dry cloth and used a vacuum cleaner to suck the whatever liquid remains was beneath the keyboard. *damn, why don't i own a hairdryer*
i don't think it was too much liquid, maybe less than a fourth of a cup, and most went on the screen. i think. anyway i left it to hang upside down at an angle and the rule book states i should leave it for 2-3 days. i so so hate this waiting period though.
the good news: iPod shuffle and mac mini
i told myself if i couldn't revive my powerbook, i might go for the mac mini. looks good, not bad performance, just whack up the memory. i wonder if it be cheeky to include the apple cinema display on our wedding list, hahaha. :)
and the iPod shuffle sounds perfect for me. i don't use personal audio unless i'm working out at the gym; certainly not when i'm cycling or mountainbiking. all the home music (and video and photos) is saved on the home media server anyway and we have problems already with iTunes authorization when we copy between devices. those were my considerations for getting an iPod. i'd much rather spend the money on travel or camera accessories.
the iWork software is also a curiosity, i haven't experienced any of them, but i think i could maybe upgrade my dad to that. i know he's been making his university lectures in powerpoint and he wants to make to make his lectures more interesting to his students. he's quite cool my dad, he's just totally attached to his powerbook now, emailing, chatting, using iTunes and iPhoto to make his digital photo libraries, even using Adobe PhotoShop to edit his images.
so looks like tomorrow a visit to the apple store at the shopping mall is in order. *2 temen di indo udah pada pesen iPod shuffle nih, hehe, yg lain ngantri yah kalo mau* :)
