I Love My Mac!

rs2sensen · May 25, 2005

Alright, this is a bit random, but I kinda realized something just a minute ago. I often work on my mac laying in bed before I go to sleep. And tonight, it was sitting open on my bed when I turned off the lights. The backlit keyboard came on, the screen adjusted brightness... I realized that my 17" Powerbook is one of the coolest looking computers around. Now, I go to add some lightsabers in After Effects to a video I did just for fun (I'm teaching a friend who does video editing Print and Web Design, and he's teaching me some Video Editing stuff). Anyways, just thought I'd share, lol.

I love my Mac!

I want a dual 2.7 Ghz Powermac with two 30" screens! lol, well, the Powermac I'll have soon, the screens....those I don't know.

I am lucky, in a way. Every dollar that my Powerbook cost me it has made up in work I've done with it. It has paid for itself. Of course, I appreciate the comment, it's nice to get called "lucky" and u get that little grin....

I actually wound up spending MORE on my Mac than I did on my car! But that's because my parents sold me a good car cheap, so I kinda got lucky on that one.

I can't wait to see her... the 23" monitor arrived today- computer is still being customized by Apple.

You want a dual 2.7 with two 30" screens? Wow- I thought those 30" screens were a little bit scary when I saw them at the Apple Store... the 23" was juuust right (and a lot cheaper!)

Thanks! Wow, that makes one feel good when one hears stuff like that!

I had a similar situation with getting a good car cheap, the car is actually worth more than the PB, but I bought it for about the same...

As for the 30" screens, I am one of those odd people that get a sort of claustraphobic feeling with screen space, so I like as much as I can get. I've never actually seen the Apple 30" screens, but I've seen other brands in that size.

it depends what your purpose is. But really, I don't think it's too big. the screen is large, but thats nice for on the road graphics and video editing. Its light enough to comfortably walk around the house with, it in one hand, coffee in the other. It really isn't as monsterous as it first seems...

I was guna buy one, in the store i picked it up and it was really heavy so then i was guna get the 15inch then i thought to my self why buy the 15 inch all you need it for is sittin on the couch and in the garden so i got the 12 inch. everything I do that needs the extra power or bigger screen i use the G5 for.
