Hello

Just wanted say hello. I have a MacBookPro and I'm thinking about buying a 27" iMac. I really like the screen and I like the Mac OS X. I'm still saving the money for one.

That's nice. I'll be buying my first mac, a Macbook Pro Retina. What a way to go, right? lol I prefer laptops very much over desktops. They are just easier to use in my eyes. So I'll never buy an iMac or Mac mini. I prefer a compact package. LOL

I'll be spending half of my student grant money on the retina mbp. I guess now is a good a time as any to switch, I've been hoping to switch but never had the opportunity until now. I don't have an income currently so buying a nice big-ticket item is going to be a blast! I just wish it wouldn't take 1-2 weeks to make it and ship it. I know at least it's better than the previous 3-4 weeks. I hope by the time I have the money to buy it it'll be a week tops. Though I'm not sure if that's even possible. At least I'll have Mountain Lion preinstalled, so I don't have to figure out how to upgrade it.

Same here. Just got my MBP 5months ago. Now I want to buy iMac and throw my windows desktop. Since the switch I never thinking of going back. I'm still saving ang waiting for the new iMac if it comes this fall or else I will buy the current model.

I started to skip lunch and snacks just to save money for the iMac....lol

LOL yeah.. If I have to I will quit eating out, though that'll be hard. I'm glad that I'm getting the MBP with grant money since I probably could never afford it otherwise. I guess it's good timing.

Good for you. Something to look forward to..

Hope both of us won't end up being sick and spend the money instead for hospital by skipping meals. ;D

I know, right? I will get the other half of my grant money I think in another 6 months (?) I know it'll be in 2 installments. So I'm spending practically 100% of my first installment on the mbp. Apple care, double the base ram, and the super drive. I'll probably also see if I can pick up a thin messenger bag for it. So if I do have to go into the hospital I'll have to pay the bill when I get the rest of the grant money.

hahahahaha. nice one!

The MBP comes first! ROFL!

I would be so devestated if I couldn't end up buying the MBP. I mean seriously.. I've already applied for the credit services to buy it now but was denied. I have crappy credit so it wasn't much of a hope there...

Though I could try again with my mom or dad as a cosigner. LOL THough it would have to be without them knowing. So that wouldn't really probably work well once they found out. So I haven't really thought of doing that.

I am just waiting for my grant money. I should get it in about 30 days. I hope sooner!! (Of course!) lol

Good luck on that. It's really worth the wait and sacrifice.

Yeah. Thanks

Only question I have is, is there a MS Access program that is compatible with Access for Mac... I can't seem to find anything compatible. I may just have to install Windows in bootcamp or VMware Fusion and buy MS Access for Windows. *sigh*
