My new laptop

I’ve been putting off getting a new laptop computer now for maybe  a year and a half, and last week I finally bit the bullet and did it.

Granted I have gone to the store more than once to check them out and I’ve always had gotten so frustrated  and overwhelmed that I always left empty handed. But last weekend when I was writing a longer email and it would either erase all my information, or it would get kinda funky – well that was enough! Seriously, you know how some people get road rage? Well I’m thinking I might have a type of computer range, and take my word for it, it’s not a pretty sight at all.

No matter what I was going to do this past week, I was going to buy a new computer.

So I’m chit chatting with the salesperson and after giving her the old deer in the headlights look I’m sure, I finally did decide on one that I think I’ll like. It was a different brand and platform that I’m used to, and I knew that there was going to be a learning curve, but how hard could it be right?

Another deciding factor on what computer I was going to buy was that it was on sale –  caching, I had another 10% coupon off of the price – caching, I cashed in my money that I made so far at the second hand store – caching, and then I had another $50 off with another promotion – SCORE! At this point you’re thinking if it wasn’t free aren’t you? Well it wasn’t free, but I did end up paying only about 50% of the original cost. Yup, I’m the new owner of a MacBook Air computer. And making the transition over to a MacBook? Seriously, how hard could it be? We have an IPad, so it should be a breeze.

* Update on my skill level with the new computer.  It took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to get this one program off my screen when it started up. Yea….. it might be a little longer learning curve than I first anticipated!
