Bad Apple

I have an iMac circa 2007 that is now considered "vintage". Are you F'ing kidding me? No. It is so slow it may as well be a paperweight and I have done everything possible to speed it up, but it's a no go. But what makes me so mad is that it still looks brand new, all silverey and flat and shiny with it's big glossy screen and I think it's so dumb. Not only do I have this doorstop, but I also have three laptops and another iMac in my attic that I can't seem to part with because even though they don't work anymore they still have my life in them. I even still have Old Blue the see through bubble Mac with a built in handle that was passed down to me by my sister so it has all the music on it from her life and then everything from my life thrown on top of it and I swear to Jesus I'm not a hoarder but I cannot get rid of these stupid things.

I am learning web design and this "vintage" Mac is just not going to cut it and I have to go to the Apple store with Wendy today because her phone decided to take a dirt nap but luckily it's still under warranty so she's getting a new one and I know as soon as my dirty Birkenstocks set foot in that store and I smell that new Mac smell and see all those flat flashy screens I'm going to be tempted. I've even looked into their finance programs and even though there's no option for trading in first borns, there is a program I could manage and I've already done all the mental back and forth about not even being able to begin any kind of design on my old Mac it's still a very big decision that makes me want to eat a pint of gelato.

I have to put on pants and go now, wish me luck. I'll update when I get home.
