New Stuff & Packaging
Posted by Adam Posted in Personal and Misc 3 comments
Is it just me or does everyone else like receiving new stuff in the post/by courier and then looking forward to seeing how its packaged more than the actual thing itself???
In the last week or two I’ve been rather addicted to ordering stuff from the Apple Store. After the success of ordering Leopard and getting it on time, I decided it was time to try them out a bit more so, have ordered the following:
- A new Mac Mini
- x2 Wireless Keyboards
- x2 Mighty Mice
- Leopard Server
and…
- A MacBook Pro – 2.6 Core2Duo, 2GB RAM, 200Gb 7200 RPM HD with 17” Hi-res Glossy screen
So far, I have received everything except the actual MBP which will hopefully turn up some time in the next week or two.
But my addiction didn’t stop at the Apple Store, it spread to Amazon. Firstly, I thought subscribing to Amazon Prime (not an affiilte link) would be a good idea, and it certainly was – free next day delivery on every order for 12 months for £49/year.
With prime subscription in hand I went ahead and ordered:
- A new camera – Sony Cybershot 7.2 mega pixel thing
- 4 DVDs (on separate orders just to ‘test’ the prime thing)
- A Birthday Present for a relative – I even got Amazon to gift wrap it because I was feeling lazy
Now I have the camera, expect to see plenty more pics added to flickr… mainly of packaging but I might venture outside with the camera at some point and see what excitement can be found while breathing fresh air.

Nice setup! Why two wireless keyboard/mice and isn’t the keyboard a bit small to use for coding all day?

Personally I like the bubble wrap. Especially if there’s enough to put on the floor and walk over it in bare feet. Has a very funny sensation in your feet.
So where’s this flickr account then? ;o)

MartinP – one set for my iMac the other is for the MBP. I’m getting used to the size although I’m greatly missing a DELETE key and a number pad.
Sarah – bubble wrap seems to have died out in favour of large air pockets these days – which is a shame. As you’ve already added me a contact on flickr I’m guessing you found it ;)
