- Your Mac's Specs
- 933 Mhz Powermac Quicksilver,1.5GB RAM, OSX 10.5, Tangerine 300MHz Clamshell, OS 9.2
Two things:
#1. I am sorry I'm practically spamming all of mac-forums because of the drama that's going on with my MacBook. I swear I was a baseball general manager in my past life. ><
#2. I'm sure this post will get moved too, but switcher hangout just seemed to be the most logical place to put this...
With that aside I was thinking about perhaps this as an option since I just really feel this MacBook isn't right for me.
BEST CASE SCENARIO: (I get my money refunded and this thing goes byebye.)
-I haven't been shy with sharing how fond I am of eMacs and how I would love to get a 1.42 GHz model. I have a 700MHz model but it's really too slow for what I am about to offer. If I kept this macbook, it'd be fine but I'm not. I figured I could wait around to get a good deal on an eMac like around $250ish. I figured that would be fast enough to chat on AIM chatrooms and play my VNES games.
-Since NONE of my classes seem to get a wireless broadcast, having a really fast MacBook is kind of self defeating considering...well...I don't really need the 1.8 GHz. I figured I could pick up a 400-667MHz powerbook that I can put microsoft office on it. (Yes I have office for mac. ) I figure $275 MAX for that.
That leaves $525 for two apples. Sounds better to me than one for $800.
WORST CASE SCENARIO - PAYPAL DOESN'T REFUND OR PARTIAL REFUND:
The two computers could still be mine and I could just eat $175 (I already paid my dad $100 back.) since this macbook is still worth about that. It's under applecare so the screen can be fixed and...Well...With the yellowing LCD screen bezel, get a skin for it? I could trade it for those two which I think would be awesome though I DOUBT anyone on this forum has a 1.42 GHz eMac and a 400-667MHz 15" powerbook they'd trade for this. Or I could sell it on here for what I just said...
OR I could trade this for a powerbook and cash so I could pay back my dad faster since he's hurting for cash. That also seems like a great option which I might take up tomorrow on the for sale thread. Plus I'd have to get rid of my eMac that I have now so I have space for the new eMac. (See it's just like moving players around for salary cap reasons....) So I think my last suggestion is the most logical, practical and realistic.
It's just a thought I'm kicking around and I'd REALLY appreciate ANY insight even if it's "Hey man, get a Pismo." Thanks!
