I drank the Kool-aid again.
I was a bad, bad girl today and bought a new computer.
For a long time now I've had the creeping feeling that at any moment my more-or-less ancient Dell is going to bite the big one and take a pile of stuff that I value with it. Plus, I've been wanting a laptop again since shortly after I bought the aforementioned tower (coming up on eight years ago -- eeep!).
So, now there is a tee-nine-cy MacBook patiently waiting in the corner. My dad, one of the original Mac fanboys, will be proud. Our first computer ever was an Apple IIe that I loved to use to play Pong. (See -- I really am an old codger.)
I am both excited to have a new toy and slightly nauseous that the credit card balance is going the wrong direction.
