Three days ago the new upgraded MacBook Pro's came out.

Two days ago she'd emptied a large chunk out of her bank account buying one.

So today, Mac was still fidding with settings, re-downloading all the programs and firefox extensions and backgrounds she just had to have, and generally resisting the urge to physically pet it. Instead, she'd get ( Read more... )
