The Quest is Over

The Quest is Over Originally uploaded by Noodleholz . Back in November I finally got it. My very own MacBook. I blogged about this in May. The quest is over. I've managed to optimize my finances and scratch the money together. To say the least I love the new machine. Being used to a iBook G4 800 MHz that I borrowed in the mean time this thing is just screaming. I even think it feels faster than my PowerMac Dual G5. What makes me even more fond of this gadget is that I managed to bring up the determination and willpower to make this happen. So it reminds me of how proud I am of myself. I count it in as a trophy.

Now I'll just need to spice up my income somehow. Maybe sell a few organs :) No really I'll have to get into some freelancing of some sort.
