It was PINK! My old laptop was starting to flake out, so I was excited about this gift. Then I turned it on and started using it. It had Windows Vista and I HATED it. It would freeze up and act like it had a mind of its own (with sub-par intelligence, of course). After about a month I reverted back to my old laptop. About a year later, old faithful kicked the bucket so I was forced to start using the Vista infested computer again. It works well about 70% of the time&#8230;when the mouse isn&#8217;t freezing up, etc. So I should buy Windows 7, right? Well I haven&#8217;t done that because I&#8217;m still bitter about Windows Vista. Just because I got a new laptop in this particular window of time means I get the short end of the stick.<\/p>\n<p>So here I am with ISTE coming up this summer, as well as my launch into my Masters program. I need a piece of reliable equipment. What should I do? What I (think I) really want is a MacBook. Mostly because I can get the extremely cool Book Book cover to go on it. Yes, I&#8217;m that much of a dork.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bookbook.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-156\" title=\"BookBook\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bookbook.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bookbook.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bookbook-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Part of me is afraid of getting a Mac because its so different from what I&#8217;m used to.
