Eventually, My Macbook

Finally, I can put up my report on the Macbook. After some issues with the display and the correct color schemes, I am now typing on a brand new Macbook Late 2007.

Looks good. Nice commercial, yet, not the Macbook I want so badly. I hope Apple brings out a new one before Christmas. That would contribute to my perfect Christmas-Eve. Anyhoo, here’s a rather new Dell commercial. Song by Devo.
