Week off and iBook G4

After my summer work at INRS, I enjoyed a week off before returning to my courses at the university. One week, that’s enough to make repairs to my bike, shop some new clothes, and get a new iBook

A new iBook! Exactly. My old tangerine one still work very well even after 4 years and a half, but in the last year I always kept close to the saturation limit of my hard disk. I planned changing that for some time now — and voilà: it’s done.

The major point that sold the iBook to me instead of a PowerBook is battry life. On my old iBook, when it was new, I often got 6 hours on one charge with normal use. In the last four days I was pleased to discover that my new iBook G4 can acheive about the same results.

Well, did you get all neety stuff like the airport card?

Airport: Yes
In fact, since I took the 1.2 GHz model, Airport was already installed. Also, because there is a wireless network at Université Laval that’s getting bigger each year I would have added it anyway.

Bluetooth: No
I have no use of Bluetooth.

It’s always cool to exchange a flashy toilet seat for a real computer.

Want to sell your old one to a good home? :)

You’re too late Carla. The old one is already gone!
