A MAC in a PC World.

So as I explained a few posts back, I put together a comprehensive chirstmas wish-list of items I would have been delighted to see under the old tree. This being the first Christmas without Mr. Man in 5 years, I was a worried that I would get stuck with things I didnt need (which is a nice way of saying, "shitty gifts"). Living with someone every day of your life presents a lot of opportunity to drop hints, and get a first person account of what he/she is eyeying in the stores. When it comes to your parents, with whom you havent lived in over 15 years, it's much more challenging to be spot-on when gifting is appropriate.

My painstaking excel spreadsheeting has payed off. I got what I wanted. All things that will have a very practical purpose in my everyday life. The piece de resistance was a new computer (on which im typing right now). I included it on my list not thinking my folks would actually spring for it. But they did and im excited to announce that I have officially taken the deep dive into the world of Macintosh. I have been eyeing my friends Mac for a couple of months now and really liked the functionality of it. Its pretty, small and makes me feel smarter for some reason. Maybe its because the people I see in coffeshops and airports who are using macs appear to be that early-adopter, smart-glasses, fuck-the-world-im-standing-outside-the-box kinda people. Who doesn't want to join their study group?

So fuck you Bill Gates...im playing on Steve Jobs team now!
