OS X.3 - Just Made It

Last week at this exact time I came home to find a brand new PowerBook G4 Apple notebook computer sitting on my porch. I had ordered it quite a while back and now that it was finally here - I couldn’t contain myself.

I quickly ripped all the packaging off and looked at it’s beautiful silver body. Still closed, I decided to start her up and spend hours customizing every little setting I could find. First setting up email, PhotoShop and various little downloadable programs. Over the span of an hour or so things were beginning to come together.

A couple days later I pulled up Apple’s website and to my disappointment - OS X (10.3) was being announced for soon arrival - sigh.

I’ve had my laptop for no more than a day or so and a new OS comes out for it. If I would have only waited for a couple more days I wouldn’t have to pay for another OS. For a good week I sat looking over the new features now available and saying to myself, “That would be a rather handy way to do things.”.

However, As luck will have it - I found out my computer is available for a $19.99 upgrade and all I had to do was enter in some information about my computer and boom, OS X.3 would be sent to my house.

So I lucked out and I will be receiving OS X.3 sometime next week for only $19.99. I couldn’t be happier and greatly owe Lady Luck a moment of praise.
