Tax Rebate

Well my tax rebate finally came through. Well, actually it's called Prime d'Emploi, a scheme where if you're on low salary, you get a rebate, introduced a few years back when they had some tax cuts.

Bought myself an iPod nano (yay!) so I can listen to decent music at work, but am also listening to a lot of podcasts eg BBC News, Today programme, New Scientist and Scientific American reports, as well as Mac news. Also a podcast on learning French.

Also upgraded to iLife '06 over the weekend, and am very impresse with iWeb, and the intergration with the other iApps and .mac and have started redesigning my web site. It's much, much quicker than any other software I've used, and photo albums, videos, podcasts are just a drag and drop away.

Awesome.

Congratulations on your tax rebate -- I'm getting one too, I think I'm eligible for 600 dollars and I'm ecstatic. Apple products are always a good way to spend tax rebate money if you ask me.

Do you need laptop batteries ?
