So, I soldiered on which my bodged iBook clamped to a solid surface to get it to work...
But then I graduated & started a new job.
And so with my new found wealth I decided that having a portable computer that was, in fact, only as portable as the coffee table that it was attached to was ridiculous! I decided enough was enough.
Reader, I struggled with the decision regarding what laptop to buy for some time. I was pretty disappointed with Apple after my iBook died after just 2 years, so I read around a bit, asked friends and generally mulled over which brand to go for...
Friends with MacBooks were very happy with their machines. They looked nice (especially the black ones) and seemed to work really rather well. OSX was, as I knew from my iBook, a joy to use.
So should I buy a MacBook, even though my last Mac turned out to be rubbish? A Sony Vaio might be nice, and Sonys tend to be reliable I thought...and blimey, Microsoft Vista looks just like OSX, so perhaps I should go for a PC and forget about Macs? My housemates' PCs were both working well too, even though one was an ancient pre-wireless Toshiba laptop.
What did I do? I spent £900 on a black MacBook. After all, if one Mac I'd owned had been crap, surely I couldn't have the same bad luck twice?
