I’m not selling my Mac G5 because I don’t love it… I’m selling it because I no longer require it.
Since I am no longer recording music the way I used to, I don’t need all the horsepower that the G5 tower provided. Over the past month or so, I had been moving over applications and files to my new Macbook Pro when I had an epiphany last night. I totally forgot to move my Digital Performer files off of the old system!
I was freaking out because these files are basically the “master” tracks of every music piece I’ve ever recorded on the computer. I lost many a song in the past because of forgetting to backup those tracks before wiping a drive… so I came up with a better solution than trying to hunt down the files I’ll need… take my hard drives out and put others in!
It made so much sense that I had an out-loud “DUH!” moment! LOL
Now, I don’t need to worry about getting everything off the hard drive before selling the system because I’ll be keeping those drives and replacing them with new ones.
ugh… now I just have to wait for them to come in (probably early next week), swap the drives out, then install Leopard (OS 10.5) onto the new drives so that it is ready to sell.
If interested, I’ll be posting the specs online when the time comes later this month.
Cheers!
