because i am shallow

because i am going to singapore tomorrow and i have a desktop iMac and because being seen with a dell laptop in the lounge is demoralizing to say the least, and because i care about how i look in the lounge not to mention in business class, and because i need business expenses for my business, and because my sister has one and she influences me, i bought one of these today:

i showed remarkable restraint in buying the littlest one. just a tiny little 15" macbook pro with a mere 2.4GHz intel core 2 duo processor (i know, they come more powerful, but did i really need that for the lounge?), and 200 GB harddrive. i've got 500 on the iMac, so it was ok that it was small. -ish.

now, if only i was pandion*.

*pandion is the class above gold on SAS. they are vague about how you achieve it. but i want it. bad. must fly more.

iMac, therefore i am

bookshelves reflected in the shiny, gorgeous screen.  

we're in the middle of a rebuild, so it's a bit chaotic, but it's so beautiful, i had to share anyway.

i got it!  it took visits to no less than 4 stores and phone calls by people in three of said stores to people in other stores to find it, but it's here and i am typing this very blog post on it.  there was a hitch on the start-up, but we cleared that up with a little reinstall and we won't hold it against her, because she is indeed beautiful.  like so beautiful i can hardly breathe and i don't know whether to shout or laugh or just curl up in a ball and sob at the sheer overwhelming aesthetic, ecstatic pleasure.  

those designers at apple simply rock. 

like beyond belief.  

the keyboard is paper thin and simply heavenly.  

i will write amazing things on this keyboard.  

i promise.
