I posted yesterday that I was intent on re-installing my MacBook Pro and that I didn’t know what I was doing.

Well, it survived and it’s running like Usain Bolt in his tip top best new trainers. ’tis fab once more. For the record, it had been about as fast as my neighbours cat, Tripod. He’s called Tripod because he only has three legs. Go figure.

Anyway, it’s fine. Slight fright when I realised that Snow Leopard doesn’t come with the iLife suite as standard…had to re-install that from Leopard. Phew. Oh and I’ve lost my Office CD. Meh.

Actually, a funny thing happened. I kept thinking that I had a new Mac…not a recycled, re-installed one. Weird…I’m excited about it, like I was when I first got it. So, from now on, I reckon I should try recycling a few things instead of buying new.

Hmmm, maybe that’s going a bit too far. Maybe I’ll just recycle the Mac when I feel like getting a new one. Maybe. But it is just like having a shiny new laptop.

Unless, of course, Apple come out with the much rumoured tablet sometime soon.
