Okay, so you know how I’m always saying that I’m broke? Well, here’s why!
Yup, that’s right. Last weekend I bought a Macbook! Surprise! (‘Cause I know some of you are.)
Up till now I’ve been slogging along using my old 2005 Dell Craptop. (No offense, Dell.) But ‘Crappy’ was dying fast. On the dimmest screen setting the battery would only last half an hour, and just being on meant that Crappy was blowing and ticking as loudly as any ’90s desktop tower. Things would crash. Things wouldn’t open. Things would freeze. My brain was exploding daily.
But what, do you ask, was the final straw that made Dave and I get up last Sunday morning and say, “today’s the day”? Crappy started asking me to connect to the internet. Incessantly. Using a dial-up connection. When I was already connected wirelessly to my high-speed cable modem. Yeah. The end, right?
So here the two of us are. Dave decided to document the unveiling because I was that excited. If you look closely you can see a) the computer and I having a moment and; b) the ‘crazy eyes’ of joy and excitement in more than one picture. This little guy is awesome. So silent and battery life like you wouldn’t believe! Sigh, this is the start of a beautiful friendship, I can just feel it.
Woohoo! Congrats. I am so jealous.
