introduction
THIS PART OF NEWFORMULA IS NOW IN COLD STORAGE. I decided to move everything over to wordpress, with a clean start. Old posts are now under archive here, but for the latest please visit newformula.org
Biting that bullet.
I'm permanently in a state of flux when it comes to my finances. I sell something to buy something else (normally the latest nice mac related gadget), then sell that when I don't really like it. Thanks god for ebay.
However, the time has come for me to realise that this really isn't that sustainable when it comes to pay off any debt that I have, which just seems to stay constant, however hard I try to pay it off. So, having 3 macs a house between 2 people seems to be the easiest way to get some cash, pay off some debt, and start reeling my finances back in. So, the lovely iMac (20" G5, bought a week after the intel iMacs came out for an excellent price) has to go, leaving me with the 1.25 G4 Mac Mini currently living under the TV, and the 6 year old Tibook (450 mhz), which still runs like a champ. This whole exercise should net me about 650 quid after some 'essential' purchases!
The mini is currently monitor less, being used a media centre under the TV. So, a lovely LCD monitor has been bought courtesy of sony, and man it is sweet- and good value, at about £165.
That's the main outlay. The other is another Lacie P3 250GB hard drive to replace the iMac's 250, as the Mini only has 40GB internally. After that, I should be left with 600-650 pounds, a nice dent on the debt situation. Hopefully come december or January I'll be debt free, and will reward myself with the then recently released rev. 2 Macbook!
