Continuing my string of Mac-related posts...

My friend Maggie is a very unique individual. Nothing she says or does surprises me. Yesterday, we had this conversation:

Me: Hey! You got an iPhone too! Cool!

Maggie: Yeah, I got it as a gift from Carson Daly's mom.

As I said, this response did not surprise me. In fact, the only thing Maggie could have said that would have surprised me was, "Yeah, I walked into a store and bought it like a normal person."

Drinking Apple-flavored Kool-Aid

I need a new phone.

My iPod is 5 years old. The battery life sucks and it's starting to act weird.

I like cool-looking shiny new things.

A certain device just got a 33% price decrease.

I'm prone to very occasional bouts of fiscal irresponsibility.

It should be here by Tuesday.

Must go to loving home

I hate to do it, but I'm selling my iMac. I want it to go to a good home, and that's where you come in.

If you know of anyone who might like to buy an iMac with a 1.8GHz G5 processor, 17" flat-panel screen, 768 MB of RAM, 80 GB hard drive, built-in Airport wireless card, please send this on. In fact, you'd have to be an idiot not to want this! And not all your friends and family are idiots, are they? No, they're not.

It also has Panther (Mac OS 10.3) preinstalled, but I have a copy of 10.4 (Tiger) I'll send along with it. You also get the iLife apps (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and GarageBand).

For those of you whose eyes just glazed over but are still interested, there's a pretty picture (and complete tech specs) here.

It's in great condition, both inside and out. Asking $800. Shipping can be negotiated based on where the lucky buyer is, but it'll come in the original box for all you collectors out there.

Most of you have my e-mail address so I'm not posting it as spam bait. Don't know me (or don't like me enough to include in your address book) but still interested? Use the contact link near the top right-hard corner of the site.

Hurry, 'cause it goes on Craigslist this weekend!

The redemption of YouTube

This guy has earned my ultimate respect and adulation. If asked, I would offer him my firstborn child*.

* Note: Offer valid only if first-born child inherits more of Deborah's genes than mine.
