A New Computer on the Horizon!

This coming Monday I will probably be ordering a new computer through a friend of my son's who is a Mac technician.  Yup, after putting in as much money as it would have cost to get a Mac, I'm actually breaking down and getting one.  Since the young man who's helping me is giving me every break he can, I hopefully will have a new  Mac Mini by the end of next week.

Keep us in your prayers that all plays out okay.  I am really pumped about possibly getting a really decent computer after years of dealing with the ones we've had.  Besides...I am a Mac person!  I had one as my first computer and I LOVE them!  I only settled for a PC because of the cost issue. But when we looked at how much we'd wasted getting the PCs fixed it came out to MORE than what a Mac is worth!  (My husband's words!)

I am ready for a change, and a return to the best computer for what I do - writing and creating newsletters.  I cannot wait!!!

  5. That's great Ciss. You've made a wide choice with the Mac. I don't have one but wish I did. For our next home computer I'm seriously contemplating going that route. I'll be curious to hear how you like it.

  6. Hi, Robert,
    We've try to save money over the years with PCs, but found out they ended up costing us - huge! So we made the decision as thing developed to put money away for the next computer.

    I'm glad we decided on a Mac since I am aMac lover too!

  9. That convinces me. I like the idea of cost savings over time. It's worth the initial premium.
