Henrico County $50 iBooks update!

I know many or at least a few of you were planning on driving down to good ol’ Richmond, VA (I know I was) to get yourself a nice $50 iBook G3.

Guess what? Most of your plans have just been ruined if you don’t pay taxes in Henrico County or live there. What am I talking about you may ask, well the Henrico County school’s website JUST and I mean JUST updated the sale information:

NOTICE - Public sale of iBooks for the general community has been moved from August 9th to August 16th and now the iBooks will only be available for residents and taxpayers of Henrico County.

If you don’t believe me check this out:

Way to ruin people’s travel plans Henrico County!

Edit: Fixed title.

iBook on eBay!

Lowered reserve and buy it now prices AGAIN! $775.00 reserve and $800.00 buy it now.

I finally did it, I’ve been meaning to forever. My iBook was finally put up on eBay today! I’m eventually selling all three of my machines (iBook, PowerBook, iMac) so I can make room for a new 12″ PowerBook with a 20″ ACD.

As usual I updated the eBay page with a link to it, and you can click the image to get there. The machine has served me well along with my other two, but the iBook has to go first *tear* anyways, I’m hoping somebody who reads the blog wins it :D and not some random stranger. Enough of my babble, show this auction to your friends who might be looking for an iBook!!! One other thing, I hate reserve prices, but seeing as it’s a computer my mom wouldn’t let me put it on eBay w/o setting a reserve :P.
Edit: Dropped reserve and Buy It Now prices :D hopefully she won’t notice.

PEACE!

Ordered MY Mighty Mouse

‘Nuff said! :D

Apple’s Mighty Mouse!

Apple today (August 2nd) released what’s called a Mighty Mouse. What is this little bugger? You guessed it, a MOUSE. This little thing is the same size as the regular one button Apple mice. Why am I saying regular one button? Simple. This new Mighty Mouse has not one but four actual ‘buttons’.

The catch-phrase for this thing is:
Meet the mouse that reinvented the wheel.
That’s true actually, this mouse does a lot more than any Apple mouse has ever done, it has as stated four actual buttons. A left AND right click under the ‘hood’ of the mouse and two side buttons that you can squeeze instead of just click. The Mighty Mouse also adds scrolling capability to the normal Apple mouse format.

In the middle of the front end of the Mighty Mouse you’ll notice a small little gray ‘ball’ that’s used to scroll through webpages, documents, etc. One other thing about the new mouse, it has a solid white shell much like the Apple Bluetooth mice, instead of the clear shell as we’re accustomed to on the old Apple mice.

Overall, if you’re looking for a good mouse for a nice price ($49) the Mighty Mouse might be for you.

(I submitted this to dtgeeks and they said it sounds more like a blog entry so I made it one.)
