It's just too darn cool
[Posted by Dave Haber on Saturday, 08/22/09 9:08 am] [Full Blog] [Tweet This]I have realized that I now have a problem that currently seems insolvable.
I've been through about 6 computers in the past few decades. In the past, as one computer was retired for the next, I felt nothing for the older computer, and it was relegated to the closet, then storage, then the trash. PCs are just ugly boxes.
Indeed, there are two PCs in the closet of my office right now.
I don't know why I keep them around. I might make one into a web server, or use one for development or testing, I say to myself. But the boxes are old technology now, and getting older by the minute, and those things will be probably never happen.
My problem: Now the computer currently on my desk (and the computer I'm writing this on) looks like this:
This iMac is approximately a year old. It's not my fist Mac, I also have a MacBook laptop. I'm not anywhere near thinking about getting a new computer (which will almost certainly be a Mac), but my problem is, when that time comes, how can I possibly relegate something that is just so darn cool to the closet, or storage?
I suppose I'm just going to have to take the extra time to find the old guy a good, second home. Anyone know of a good Mac adoption service?
