Back in business

Last week was a little messed up because I had a four-day bout of stomach flu. But when I got better, my iBook got sick. She crunched away to a quick death on Friday. Fuming inwardly and cursing her, I went shopping for a few errands meant to be done on the weekend. So this is why I’ve been missing for so many days.

The kangaroo was very sweet — he put on his doctor hat and performed some surgery on the iBook to retrieve our precious travel photos from the hard disk.



Check out the insides of the iBook. The kangaroo’s boss is a Mac user so he asked him for some advice. But all he got was, “It’s before the Intel ones came out?! Get her a new one!”



And so he did. It’s an early birthday pressie. The other reason for the rush is we can't afford the downtime until he gets one from the US (it's so cheap there) or Singapore (the resale price just rocks!), so we just got me a Japanese one. I'm still getting used to the keyboard which is slightly different than the universal English one. We also got the Time Capsule which is an awesome back up drive and Ethernet hub. The speed is just incredible, especially with Japan’s phenomenal broadband system. Thanks, baby!
