out with vista, in with leopard
Last year I was lucky enough to attend the Canadian Strategic Architect Forum. The goody bag that was given to attendees was quite nice, and included a Microsoft LifeCam NX-6000, as well as a copy of the (then) newly released Windows Vista operating system.
The computer I was using at home for personal use at the time was getting quite long in the tooth, and was unable to run Vista, so I didn’t end up installing it. I then decided to switch to a Mac, and so had no use for it. I tried selling it a few times on Craigslist, and at one point considered letting it go for $150. The interested buying never got back to me, so I opted to let the market dictate the price in an online auction at eBay. It was a great decision. 7 days after listing it for $149, I sold it for $212.76 plus $15 for shipping.
I received payment almost immediately, so, the next day, I went to amazon.ca and bought a copy Apple’s Mac OS 10.5 Leopard (5-user family pack) for $20 off, and then combined a $10 coupon I found online for a total of $189 and change (including tax).
Now, that’s what I call an upgrade!
