Well time for me to consider replacing my macbook [View all]

yup, the keyboard is giving up the ghost. It is just oh eight years old... and right now using the external keyboard.

I will see if my local third party has any used\ reburfished. If not, will look at small dog electronics... (Mr. Hartmann used to be a sponsor). That is how I got my Macbook that is now starting to fail here and there... quite frankly if I get a refurb machine that is a tad old, they work... and I have missed just how many hardware updates?

I know though that we will need a larger drive... the bigest we can afford... for all them pesky photos, even if they are backed up in thumbdrive and deleted after three months...

But why refurbed? I can save north of 300 on a machine... that makes a difference. I also noticed they have refurbed IPADs, so when my IPAD gives up the ghost...
