Trying out Blogo

Since I am looking for something to use on Mac to do blog posts, I heard about Blogo and have used it to do a couple of posts, and so far I like it better than MacJournal. It is much easier to use !! I downloaded the trial version, the paid version is $25.

Extended Warranties !!! Apple Care

So, Shelby has been having problems with his optical drive on his laptop.  I finally got a chance to take a look at it this weekend.  I would not read ANY type of disk.  I thought I may have purchased Apple Care when I bought it so I checked online and sure enough!!  I HAVE IT !!

I made an appointment at the Apple store to have it looked at and the optical drive has failed.  They are replacing the drive as well as replacing the case since it has a little crack.

If I didn't have Apple Care, it would have cost me at least $300 for the new drive and then I would have to pay an additional rate for the tech to install it.  But since I have Apple Care IT'S COVERED !


I don't always purchase those extended warranties unless I have the extra money to spend.  I am thinking with appliances and electronics it is a good investment.

Days End

I sit here at my new MacBook with toothpicks holding my eyelids open!! I am soo sleepy, but refuse to go to bed until I reformat my old Macbook so I can start putting the stuff on it for Shelby tomorrow.

Me and Shelby now have pretty much matching MacBook's ... sooo, when I got my new one today, I had to make sure we could tell them apart, so I bought a pink hard case for mine :) -- I will post a picture tomorrow!

Today's workout was well ... for the fingers! I didn't run or walk today.. mostly because I was too caught up in the computer world, but also for female reasons ( I will not expand on that) I plan on doing something tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be a fun day -- I have my mammogram... my first one!!

New computer!!!

Shelby's Powerbook seemed to have some problems the other day.. it of course isn't covered under the warranty anymore. I remembered that we have a special clause in our homeowners policy for our computers. So, I called the insurance company today after going to Apple store and being told that it had suffered trauma. Well, trauma is covered. After talking to them and telling them all the specs about the computer, they decided I needed to get a new one :) So, they went online to the Apple store and picked one comperable. She is transferring the money to my account tonight -- dang they are fast!! I am getting he white 13" MacBook It is pretty much the same as mine, but upgraded ... sooo ... I will get the new one and Shelby will get my old one. Now, I just have to wait for the money to get into my account and off to the Apple store I go :)
