Thanks to Liliy, who has provided Help Mike Switch with it’s first donation! As a registered user, Liliy will receive a unique Maikeru On site theme for her donation. Thanks Liliy!

In a shameless attempt to get an iMac without having to pay for the whole thing myself, I’m trying out ChipIn in an effort to raise money to make the switch. The cut-off date is April 26, 2008 ((Offer available while supplies last. No one but Maikeru of maikeruon.com is eligible to win. Take only as directed. Donating may be accompanied by feelings of happiness, joy, and nausea.)), because that’s when Western Michigan University’s Spring semester ends and I’ll no longer be eligible for Apple’s student discount. If you’re wondering about the $3000, here’s what I’m looking at getting:

• 24″ Apple iMac with 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD, wireless Mighty Mouse and Apple Keyboard, iWork ‘08 (~$2100)
• Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium (~$600)

The extra $300 would help cover PayPal transaction fees, as well as any other Apple hardware or software I might need to fully switch. Don’t wait: help me make the switch! ((Please note that PayPal charges a significant fee for credit card donations. If you’re using a credit, please try to donate at least $5.00))

I almost have a job. Almost. The supervisor for one of the two things I applied for at the college (lab assistant) has apparently been trying to get in touch with me. I’m going to give her a call tomorrow, so hopefully that’ll come through. It offers less hours than the other position, but I’m not going to complain at this point.

Also, have you seen the new iMac G5? If it weren’t so expensive, I’d get one. They’re slick as hell.
