FINALLLLLLY!!

I finally got a MacBook!
Isn't she a beauty?


I'm so excited that my PC finally decided to kick the bucket! I've never been so happy to drop such a significant amount of money on a single object before in my life!

The acquirement process was an experience all in itself. Upon purchasing the notebook I felt like I was becoming a member of an elite, prestigious club.

A couple of things that tickled me during the purchase were as follows:

1. my salesman's introduction, "You can call me 'Wolverine.'"

2. being given a complimentary antivirus software disk along with the notion, "Here is an antivirus software that you won't need because you have a Mac so you can give it to one of your PC friends."

3. Wolverine's attempt at connecting with his customer [me] via photography, spending the proceeding twenty some odd minutes showing me photographs he had taken at a Titanic exhibit.
(Needless to say, he completely convinced me to go to the exhibit one day soon.)

4. being congratulated with a pat on the back and a big grin by a Geek Squad member while standing in the line to check out- "Congratulations! You got a Mac!"



Signing off for now,
I'll be spending the rest of the night playing with my new toy!

  6. I absolutely cannot put mine down! My dad has a mac desktop that I use when I'm home and I've always liked it. He's had it for several years with little to no problems. My mom's computer on the other hand is a PC and it crashed and burned a while ago. No viruses and uploaded spams/popups though are my biggest turn on. Macs are also much more user friendly for creative projects- graphic design and editing photos, etc.
