QUICKPOST: Bought myself a little happy from Mac this Christmas.

Every time I purchase an Apple product, complications ensue. A battery must be replaced, programs pull houdinis, a charger melts, etc. But this time… all seems well. (Except for that capslock LED that seems to be dead, but that’s trivial compared to finding out your notebook is a fire hazard.)

I don’t quite know what my game plan is, regarding the transportation of my new baby back to Singapore. I don’t quite know. But at least I got the 21.5″ not the 27″. The NYU student discount on Macs make any freight awkwardness worthwhile. In my opinion at least. Cheap is the nu-recession-chic.

Surprisingly, the Magic Mouse is nothing like it’s mildly stunted siblings. It actually does whatever needs to be done, like, well, click, and um, right-click. But, wait, as if to make up for years of mouse inadequacy, Apple pimps this newbie up extras (that finally work)… and the gestures are charm to use.

Merry Christmas!

Edit: And by the power of St. Jobs, my caplocks LED blinks to life… but a USB port wavers. Oh well.
