It's the day before Thanksgiving and I have taken the day off work to drive to see family in Portland. While here, it's a great opportunity to purchase my new laptop. This laptop will see me through school, and its purchase here helps, as Oregon is a sales-tax-free state. Combine that with my student discount and it's worth doing here. (I'm 2 weeks left at my job and anticipating impending poverty with dread. Ouch!)
I have selected the new Macbook Air. This featherweight computer is ideal for me, specifically because I haul myself and whatever gear I have up 220 stairs every morning to get from my cabin on the beach to the car. I envision the laptop, plus all the nursing school textbooks as being quite a payload, and am glad this light computer is available for a beacher like me.
I'm rewinding to the 90's when I was in Art school in my twenties. I bought the very first mac laptop, the black and sleek Executive powerbook. She was a thing of beauty, and as a testimony to the superlative design skills of the Apple group -- it still looks great today! Looking at the slim lines of this new machine, I'm thinking about all the things we're about to go through together with a mixture of excitement and total dread.
Gulp!
Nah...Bring It ON!
