it's baaack

So my computer shows up today with no warning.

Monday morning, a tech called me and asked what the problem with my computer was. I told him. He said Ok, we'll call you later.

Five days later the iMac is here. Everything looks fine. No parts are hanging out or anything. There's a scratch that may not have been there before. It's been less than an hour though, so testing is not over.

But I did discover one thing. I've got free Bluetooth. I hadn't ordered it, because it seem like an unnecessary perk to have a wireless keyboard and mouse for nearly $150 more. And I don't own anything currently that is Bluetooth capable.

Since the computer was serviced, and the problem I was having seemed to be a hardware problem, I assume they replaced the logic board. And since I've now got a little Bluetooth icon up by the clock, I also assume they must have replaced the logic board with on which had Bluetooth built-in.

The Bluetooth by itself is about CA$65, and adding a keyboard and mouse was CA$129 on the Canadian Apple site. But now I've got myself a wired keyboard and mouse. So is it now worth it to go and buy the wireless ones? What will I do with my wired ones?

I think I'd rather go WiFi before I get a wireless keyboard and mouse.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a happy new year.

I've got to get my brakes checked out on my car.

And buy some DVD-Rs.
