Today is a day I have to say “Goodbye”. My trusty old iBook and I are parting ways. It’s not really tough, because I haven’t used it in several years. But I bought it in September 2001, took it with me to Tokyo, read all the news about 9/11 on it, and then took it with me when I moved to Frankfurt a month later. Memories. But the iBook will serve a good cause: A co-worker will give it a friend who will in turn take it to Rwanda. There my little iBook will hopefully help someone browse the web to study, write his or her homework, and maybe communicate with the rest of the world. In other words, it’s going on a mission of charity, and hopefully someone down there will enjoy working with it.

Bye, bye, iBook. Maybe I will some day buy your younger brother, the MacBook.
