dear Spot,
Yeah, Mac released a new laptop. Air, it's called.
Fuck air.
You know what, Spot? We've been through alot of late nights together. Imagine how many projects we've completed! Five long years of typefaces and fanfiction, of joy and frustration, of less-than-legal downloads. Yeah, you're a little bit slow. Yeah, you have that little spot of dark pixels riiight there in the middle where the power went out during that summer storm and your brains got a little fried. Yeah, there's that one spot in the monitor that turns everything greenish.
I don't care if you only run Photoshop 7 and ancient Mac OS X Sabretooth Tiger programs. Who needs their programs? You, Spot, are not a soulless shell filled to the brim with miles and miles of files. You're not a machine to be transferred on and all sorted out.
You are a magnificent, organic mangy beast of true grit. I need a new computer like a painter needs a new easel.
Even though you start up slow, I know you'll always start.
See you soon, friend.
