Mine

Last night I was having the hardest time trying to win a Mac on Ebay. I just gave up. But an idea struck me. What if I could find a cheap, used, buy it now mac? And TA DA!

I just purchased a used mac for $600, which is actually less than what I paid for my Gateway last year. The OS is slightly outdated, but that can be upgraded. Also, the trackpad and casing around it had just been replaced today. In fact, I bought it less than an hour after the guy had posted it. It has an adequate amount of RAM and a 60 GB hard drive, but I'm not worried about that because I'm converting the hard drive from my Gateway to an external. Hopefully that will work.

I'm just really excited because I really need my own computer, and since I'm hoping to take mostly online courses next semester, sooner is better than later. And sometimes, used is just as good as new. So maybe my next post will be from my new (to me) mac.
