ByeBook

My iBook has left the building. I'm happy to say it's found a home with a true aficionado and a very nice bloke too. I am going to miss the little bugger, the iBook SE (graphite) was very sexy indeed.

Sorry to the many folks who contacted me since I put the ad up -- I'm amazed at the interest in this 3,5 year old machine -- but I chose the 'first come, first serve' method, rather than the highest bidder. Because money, as we all know, is unclean and not something we wish to discuss for too long.

Now for my next sale: my Wacom Volito.

When my Wacom Graphire II 'broke' a few months ago (it was the pen that stopped working properly) I foolishly bought a new tablet rather than replace the pen. Wacom's Volito is their bottom end solution and it shows. It lacks precision, 'feels' heavy in use. It's not meant for daily usage. After a few months I gave in and ordered a new pen for the Graphire. It arrived yesterday. So now I'm stuck with a spare tablet.

The Volito is good for trying out the idea of a tablet and for people who just want to use it once every while, to draw. It's not good enough to replace a mouse.

If anyone's interested in it drop me a line before I put it up for sale elsewhere.
