It's not too complicated, you just have to study up on just what to do before you start. The most critical part of the process was making sure the hard drive was set up properly before erasing it.Sounds complicated.
I was wondering where you found the MacBook. Did you get the iPod (from 2002) there as well?
They both came from different pawn shops. I bought the MacBook Pro on Monday for $250.00, 1/10th of it's cost when new in 2008.
Along with Mavericks, I'm now on itunes 11.4. WooHoo!, I have my iTunes sidebar back.
