When I was checking my inbox, I found an Email from Apple Computer. It was an ad and it said that they were going to hold “One Day Shopping” event on their website. As I had never heard that Mac had a sale on their products, I was interested in it and I decided to check their website on that day. I thought it might be time for my partner to get a new computer because his computer was already 4 years old. When I told him about it, he didn’t seem to be interested in it at all and he said he didn’t need a new one because his present one still worked well and he was satisfied with using it overall. However, a few days later, he told me that he’d changed his mind. He said that it might be a good chance to get a new one because he can burn DVDs with it. His present one didn’t have the function and he really needed it for his new teaching curriculum. Every time he needed to burn DVDs, he used to ask Ditmar to help him with his computer. On that night, I stayed up late to check the website--- they announced that the sale was supposed to start at 0:00 A.M. I visited the website at midnight, but I couldn't open it. It said that we should wait for awhile because too many people were trying to access the website. I had to wait for about an hour, but I finally could get connected. When I started checking the price of the new MacBook, I was very surprised because they gave us a big discount. So, I woke my partner up and told that he should get one and he did successfully. Two weeks later, the brand new computer was delivered and he was excited to get it. Then he told me, “By the way, I was thinking about what to do with my old computer and one good idea occurred to me. I think we should give it to David. What do you think?” David is his old friend and we knew he didn’t have his own computer. “Oh, it’s a great idea! I agree with you!”, I said and he called him at once. David seemed to be excited to hear our offer. Listening to their chat on the phone, I thought it was worth buying the new computer because the old one would help another person. This is a good example of recycling, I thought. |
