Checking Out Some Tech Toys At Best Buy
Ah, the store I hate oh so much because of annoying customer service representatives is where I was last night. I managed to listen in on an employee who spent around 20 minutes explaining the differences between a Mac and Windows operating system while I was playing on a Macbook. He completely made most of that crap up, but if I was an average Joe, I would have fell for it.
I especially loved the part where he said that “the MacBook crashes just as much as the PC.” I will be the judge of that. I am the king of crashing computers. Trust me when I say it is not something I am proud of. I just manage to find ways to break stuff.
I don’t intend on installing a bunch of crap on my MacBook, but for the first time around, I will probably install a crap-load of applications to test them out at first, and then I will reinstall Mac OS X 10.5. It will be for business purposes only. I did notice, unfortunately, that the MacBook Black will easily get beyond dirty with a few touches. To put it simply, it will blend to my room perfectly.
Rock Band
I saw some people playing Rock Band on the Xbox 360. My sister’s husband has that. I’m going to check it out one day. I think I will like playing the drums. I watched a few YouTube videos of other people playing, and I think some of those levels are insanely difficult. Oh well, it looks like good fun.
Verizon Voyager
It was only a dummy model, but I now know what a Verizon Voyager looks like. It is smaller than I imagined, but I really like how it can flip open with access to a full QWERTY keyboard. When the Verizon Wireless contract is up, that might be my phone when I re-sign with the company. We shall see.
iPod
My sister had an iPod Nano, but exchanged it for an iPod Classic. I think the iPod Nano is much more interesting to look at, but I would be afraid of losing such a small device. I wish I had thought of purchasing a MacBook last month. I could have received a free iPod with my purchase at the Apple Store. Oh well.
Nintendo DS Lite
I saw the Nintendo DS Lite again a few times. I don’t really know if I want one, but I just think it would be cool to play around with. I really enjoy the Brain Age games on it. I also think that once I get my laptop, my PSP will be 100% absolutely useless to me. I only purchased one game with the PSP, and I hated it. What a waste of money it was.
CompUSA
Oh, and CompUSA is still open! It has nine days left before the store closes. I wish I had taken a picture with my camera phone; it was just amazing—and somewhat depressing—to see the store in that state. They had 20% off of the MacBook Black. I, unfortunately, did not have enough credit to charge for it though.
Sleep!
Anyways, it is now nearly 9 AM. How many hours of sleep might you ask? Zero! It is time to change that.
