I really like the vibe on this site so I signed up - not common for me.
This isnt about the money, more about being effective. New Years resolution was to inventory all the apple and blackberry stuff in the home, today focusing on the MacBook.
My goals? KISS, data security, surfing and blogging, ability to use latest Firefox. MAYBE load MS Office or the like...not interested in partitioning, dual booting, etc. (see KISS)
Still running Leopard 10.5.8
Hardware is 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB 667MHz SDRAM
Screen still looks great, this thing lightly used since the IPhones became like little computers...
SO - how to upgd the OS to 10.6 or 10.7? RAM to 4GB? confident I can do upgrades myself also (havent tinkered much since late 90s)
Any other ideas would be appreciated - thank so much for your input, and a prosperous New Year to you all
