As it happens, I have a heap of money in the bank that I don’t know what to do with. For the first time in my life, my income is a fair bit larger than my expenses.

I’ve been thinking about buying myself a laptop. An iBook, to be more specific. Apple recently beefed up the iBook line with 900MHz G3 CPUs for the high-end iBook. The configuration I’m looking at — 900MHz, 384 MB RAM, 60 GB hard drive — would cost about 17,300 SEK. While it’s a nice laptop, you can get an equal or faster x86 laptop for far less than that.

It’s not the speed that’s a primary concern for my laptop needs, though. And I’m still not convinced that I actually want one. There are other things (read: toys) I could spend the money on. I’ve been thinking about buying a new TV as well.

To be honest I can afford both an iBook and a TV, but I would prefer to save some money for a rainy day.

Well. No hurry. I’ll think about it some more.
