3 more sleeps…?
I had a disaster just before Christmas. My destructive pup, who had already half-eaten my firewire webcam for the iBook, wagged his tail a little too hard and tipped a drink into my laptop. I’ve been using a school laptop since the start of term but have now finally got round to ordering a new macbook.
I can’t help thinking about it’s aluminium unibody being machined to order as I type. I went for an upgraded hard drive and the option of preinstalled iWork09. I had iWork06 on the iBook and, although I didn’t use it much, I loved the way Keynote could be used to export into so many different file formats. It made uploading of files that had started out as PowerPoint presentations to my website so much more pupil-friendly.
From what I have seen, Office 2007 for Windows is awful and so I am reluctant to buy the Mac version, even at LTS prices. Wonder if I can get by with a combination of iWork09 and OpenOffice.org? The order status page says it will ship in 3 days. I’m not going to tell you how long they think it will take to reach me up here though.
