You know that old saying “Never look a gift horse in the mouth?” Well I was thinking about it this past week… A couple of months ago, when CompUSA’s incompetence got me a brand spankin’ new Quad G5, I was understandably happy… Fast forward to the second week of August. Apple releases the fancy new Mac Pro and I am faced with a dilemna dilemma, keep using the woefully un-upgradable G5, or sell its month old ass and buy a new Mac Pro. I did make a gentleman’s agreement with myself to spend no more than I sold the G5 for, thus making this the most economical path to future upgradability. I’d say I did a pretty decent job of flipping the gift horse.

Murphy’s Law. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, folks, something always has to go wrong. Needless to say, I figured it was a smarter idea to use the money to catch up on bills, then buy the computer when financial aid comes in… Fiscally smart, but boy does it hurt trying to do anything on this ancient Compaq I pulled from the depths of the closet…

Ah well, September 8th, a bit over two weeks until I can order. Not long, yet an eternity at the same time.
