I decided against it after a couple of weeks. As ambitious and rewarding as it might have been as a project, I was brought back to earth when my wife pointed out that for the same price as the machine I wanted to build, I could buy an iMac with no hassles, kernel panics and the peace of mind that comes with a 12 month guarantee. Perhaps I’ll get around to it one day, but for the time being I’ll stick to what I know.
In place of the Hackintosh I’ll be buying a 27″ i7 iMac with a 3.4GHz quad-core i7 with a 2GB AMD graphics card. If it’s anything like my last two iMacs, I’ll get at least 3 years out of it and I’ll be able to sell it on with ease.
That’s not all though…
Last year I found university quite difficult. Not the course or material – I’ve been taking photographs for years so that was a doddle. It was the sitting at home and writing essays that I was found harder than it should have been. In all honesty, this was one of the factors that led J and me to the realisation that I have ADD. So this year, to get me out of the house more and keep me productive, I’m going to buy a new Macbook Air. It also means that I can spend more time at my favourite hangout, Tea Monkey in Milton Keynes!
Until next time.
