Snow Leopard Is Out: I don't Have It.

So unless you have been living under a rock for the past few months, or are a Windows user (same thing really....Just kidding guys), you would know that Apple has released their new OS, Mac OS X v. 10.6 "Snow Leopard". As both a tech geek and Apple enthusiast, I would normally have gotten it on opening day, but I didn't. That's a big deal for me.

Why didn't I get it on opening day? Simple answer, I didn't have the money. Most OS releases are over 100 dollars. OS X is usually $130 while Windows is roughly $200-$500 depending on the version. But Snow Leopard did something amazing, dropped the price to $30. Even I could afford that at any time. So why didn't I have the money? Another simple answer, I spent a lot of it on iTunes albums.....don't judge me, I love me some high quality, DRM free music with high quality album artwork.

I'm currently about $15 short, so I should be getting Snow Leopard in the coming weeks. There are three ways I am going to try to get the money. 1) Save my lunch money as usual. This is the most effective way, and what I usually do. 2) Put a PayPal donate widget on the blog. I don't want to do this, and I wont, I don't think asking for donations on the internet is good unless it for a cause besides your own personal needs. If someone wants to donate to someone out of their own choice, feel free, but I will not ask for donations. 3) Adsense. This is something I was planning on doing. I was going to put ads here on this blog and on a new site called Technobuffalo. Sure its a really tiny amount of money, almost nothing in fact, bot even a little is something. And the more people who read, the more it grows. Thing is, I need to be 18 do get Adsense, so I'll need to get my parents to get it for me, and that might be a whole mission in itself.

So I'm just going to stick with the first option. The Adsense will come in the future, but maybe not until Technobuffalo is out of beta and I join. Until then, lunch money will have to do. Now excuse me while I go apply for a writers position at a social blog. Thanks for reading, see you later.
