I love my computer. Apple iBook G4, 14" screen. It is wonderful. I am not even tempted by the macbook. I am so content with this computer and after owning it for a little longer than three years I have had no problems with it. But, somehow I managed to mangle the plug on my power cord. One day it was suddenly very hard to insert the plug into the side of the computer. Upon further inspection the plug part was really bent, and even separated. I must have mindlessly stepped on it, or something. Anyway to keep the plug, plugged in I had to spin the plug into just the right position. Unfortunately I was unknowingly damaging, and ultimately breaking the wiring.
Unfortunately for Kevin he realized I had severed the cords when his pants almost caught fire. My computer sat on his lap when smoke swirled up from the side of the computer. I poked the power cord- it sparked. I yanked it from the computer and unplugged it from the wall. So we went to the apple store yesterday to buy a replacement. I always love opening anything new from apple. It is all so perfectly wrapped, placed, and boxed. I love it.
I chronicled the wonderful experience of replacing an apple product.

Holy moly! Andy and I just bought that cord yesterday too! Freakishly expensive though! Our friends power cord thing started smoking too so we were extra motivated to get a quick replacement. So uh are you in California yet?
That's a weird coincidence. Nope, not in California yet. But so soon!!! just about four weeks. I can't wait. Did you see our new apartment below? My power cord, and my car decided to break at the same time. When it rains, it pours, right? I miss you guys- this time last year we were together, hiking in that crazy forrest. Oh, I just remembered we are moving the same week my parents are headed to Dallas.
unboxing, maybe the ultimate form of geek porn. perhaps the ultimate example of the unboxing fetish - an unboxing gallery of a new-in-box Apple IIc that was won on ebay:

I feel like I understand that man.
