My old cable modem would only connect through a USB cable. Then I got the MacBook and it wouldn't allow an Internet connection through USB. So I had to go to the Internet company and request an exchange so I could connect my new computer using a CAT5e (right?) network cable. I got a bigger modem but it was ok, I don't care. I just want my Internet connection. But, I'm not sure I like the fact that Internet connection to a MacBook is limited to network cables and/or wireless access points.
I'm thinking that I still want a Windows PC. Not to replace my MacBook, but just to have it around in case of whatever. In the following months I'll try to get a desktop computer that I will leave here at my mother's home to work at. She can use it also to do her stuff. Right now there are some pretty nice offers for desktop computers. A friend of mine can get me a very nice model for only $325. I just need to find a lcd monitor. There are other offers than include the monitor but the specifications of the model are not as good. I want the cheaper option as my main computer will be the MacBook. I would even buy an used one if I find a right deal. The new PCs all have Vista and I'm not much of a fan.
I was able to buy an iPod through the online store using my credit card. They are still not shipping to PR, but I sent it to my friend's house and she will ship it to me. When I tried to make the bigger laptop transaction, I kept getting errors though. They could not validate my card. I wanted to buy it yesterday because the in-laws are in Florida right now and I was going to have it sent to where they are staying so they could bring it back to me when they come back next Saturday. But I couldn't because of the card errors, and now there's no way it can get there on time (even if I use the next day shipping).
What are my options? If I can buy the MacBook through the online store, I am definitely going to buy a refurbished one. I was thinking I deserve the black one, with a 250GB hard drive, and 2GB laptop memory. If I can't make the online transaction I don't know what I'll do. That black one costs $1,499 at Office Max. I think they substract $200 from normal prices.
All I know is that I have to work this out before the end of May. I am SO frustrated.
