Back to Windows … Temporarily
You got that right, am back to Windows … after 4 months of loving and being loved by my macbook I finally set it free. They said if you love something you gotta let it go (lol) so I let it go. We had it reformatted at iStore Ayala (SM held bad memories for me) and gave it to the buyer last night. A friend, colleague and wavemate. I gave it to her real cheap considering all the accesories that I gave along. A 4K crumpler bag, a 2,600 Speck purple case, and a 2K capdase keyboard protector.
Why did I give it up? Many asked … and many concluded that given what they know of my nature … I grew tired of it. lol. Given all that I appeared like a rotten spoiled brat … which I think I partly am. But seriously I gave it up because I want take note I used want and not need … this one below:
