My previous post made it sound like I laid down a lot of cash on that computer. The fact is, yes, the iMac was a fairly large purchase…maybe one of my largest. It’s probably right up there with my second car and that signed replica of Brandi Chastain’s sports bra.
Anyway, the sole purpose of this post is not to tell you about my extremely valuable assets. It is here to make it known that I can still afford a low-cost lady friend. Only now we can take scandalous pics with Photobooth and then I can melt her heart and ears with an instrumental song I composed on Garageband. I’m set.

One week ago I purchased a lovely new 20″ Apple iMac just like the one above. It exhausted 80% of the money I made from the sale of my Jetta. So that means this lovely, new piece of metal should be able to produce about 135 horsepower and reach 0-60 mph in nine seconds if I were to just slap on four wheels. I doubt it. But it can do some pretty amazing things, such as display the current song playing on iTunes to all my buddies while we’re chatting. Thankfully it doesn’t display what I’m checking out on the web…like the location of the nearest church so that I can confess my sins.
This thing, which I named Granny Smith, can do almost anything I would ever need a computer to do, especially at this stage in my life. I’m no longer a student, I was never a party planner and I’ll never be a rocket scientist. So I don’t need to run a word processor, or a complex greeting card and invitation maker, or any sort of extreme jet propulsion formula generator. All I need is something I can surf the Net on, play some music, edit some pictures and contract carpal tunnel syndrome from.
I had been doing all my computing from PC’s at work or at home. And even though the results were acceptable and the product was satisfactory, just think about how good they’re going to be coming from this work of art. It’s gonna be like when John Lennon discovered those loco-crazy substances.
