The $500 MacBook

I’m very excited about my new toy, which we ordered online last night after a failed attempt at reaching the Apple Store before closing. Here’s how it works: Natania’s dad needs a notebook, so we’re selling him my G4 iBook for $800. I’m taking that money and putting it toward the MacBook, and then giving my folks my PC. Everyone wins. I even got a free iPod rebate out of the deal, so now I guess I can watch videos on a fancy new gadget. Sometimes I’m ashamed at how much I love new gadgets, but to be honest, we’re doing really well, we’re putting money away at a nice rate, and thanks to the high resell value of the iBooks, I’m only spending about $500. Easy peasy.
