Last year when my computer went died on me, I almost got one&#8230;even applied for Apple&#8217;s Credit Card. But instead I fixed it myself and it worked. The thing I miss though is being able to sit on the couch and use my laptop. I still have my old one but it got messed up when I wiped the drive and the original recovery disks didn&#8217;t work. I bought an Alienware laptop&#8230;top of the line, thinking it would be the best thing in the world. It was nice, but had it&#8217;s flaws like getting way too hot all the time, and the battery would just die within an hour and a half. I wrote to Alienware to see if they would help and no one ever got back to me.\u00a0 They got my money, so i&#8217;m no good to them I guess.<\/p>\n<p>ANYWAY, I was in one of my impulsive buying moods and peeked at the Mac Air. After reading about it, it seemed a little too underpowered. I like to play online games and that just wouldn&#8217;t work well. I would liove to have gotten a MacBook Pro, but I didnt want to invest that much money for something I really don&#8217;t need! So, I went for the simple MacBook bottom of the line with 4 GB ram.\u00a0 WOOT, My first MAC! I should arrive on March 3rd. Ordered an Airport Extreme for it so I can walk around with it and my iPod Touch.<\/p>\n<p>So, all you Mac users out there&#8230;tell me some fun stuff I can do with this new toy! Like show movies on my tv? Cook dinner for me? Pull weeds? Fill me in on some geeky things to do with it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve always been tempted to get a Mac.
