my sweet little not even 3 year old macbook pro laptop bit the dust. extensive internal damage, the apple genius said. i'm not sure how that happened since i've only dropped it once and everything was still working fine and dandy for the most part. at $13oo to repair, i figured i might as well buy a new computer. so i did.... behold my new iMac:
20-inch screen, 1 inch thick, 4 gigs of RAM, 500 gb hard drive, sleek, shiny design goodness for only $1700. i know i'm sounding incredibly materialistic right about now and i apologize, but my heart is palpitating just thinking about it. my parents wanted me to get another macbook pro... but at $3000 i don't think so (especially since they're not helping me out with the purchase this time around.) i was planning on buying a desktop after college anyway and after crunching some numbers i found that if i need a laptop, after a month or so i'll buy a cute little white macbook for right around $1100. a desktop and a laptop for the price of a macbook pro. mhmm.and now, i wait. fedex tracking tells me that the package is in transit from reno. google maps tells me that reno is approximately a 27 hour drive. the way things are looking... i probably won't have it until sometime next week, tuesday at the latest.
the anticipation.... the agony......
