Ohhh Technology [Thing 7]

For this blog, we're supposed to blog about anything technology related. Since I pretty much live on my computer, I suppose I will blog about that.

I have currently have an ibook g4 and i love it.

OK. So I've changed my mind about what this blog is about. Instead of writing about how much I love my computer, I'm going to write about how much I hate how fast technology changes. I just looked up my ibook g4 on mac.com to find a link or a picture when I discovered that they don't sell them anymore! They have been replaced by the new "PowerMac"s. Yeahyeahyeah. That's cool and everything, but I bought this computer over the summer for the same price as the new powermac and the powermac has more stuff than my current computer does! There isn't even a help site for my computer that I could find [in my panic/fury]. The new powermac even has an isight and computer software that goes with it. To get an isight and software now, I'd have pay an additional $180! This is ridiculous! Why am I being punished because I bought a computer before I knew that I new one was coming out the next month FOR THE SAME PRICE. My mom is going to buy a new computer [I am trying to convince her to get a powermac now], but what's to say that after she buys that they won't come out with a "superpowermac" or a "superduperpowermac"?? When do the upgrades stop and the people who bought previous products get something?
Now I know I shouldn't be complaining. I should have known that technology changes and gets more advanced every day. But still! I didn't even know they didn't carry my computer anymore! At first I thought that the powermac was new, but they still had the ibook. It's too late to return my computer, so I'll just have to be bitter about it I guess. Or fork up the money and get everything already included with the ohsogreat powermac.

Oh wait. Maybe I can convince my mom to get the powermac and then teach her how to use my computer and switch?! oooo clever clever. She doesn't want the extra stuff that the powermac comes with and I do. I guess it all works out.

I got pretty off topic in this blog. I guess what I'm trying to say is that technology changes a little too often for my taste. It seems like you can't buy something without a better version coming out the next day.
