Mac is close…
Mac is so close, I can actually smell the glorious Mac-iness of it – unbridled efficiency, dazzling bells and whistles that actually work – redemption and relief from the land of Microsoft…
As a matter of fact, we are mere dollars away from our goal (switching from PC to Mac) and forever leaving my computer woes behind. Like I told the sales guy this weekend at the Apple Store – Vista is the best thing to happen EVER, if you were even slightly considering moving to a Mac.
Of course, I’ve been bleating about this for over a year now, since we bought our latest PC. Foolishly, with Vista pre-installed. Ever since, my brain has been taxed by programs that don’t work, hardware that no longer cooperates, and a relentless thirst for human blood.
Sorry, that last one may not actually have anything to do with Vista… Damn full moons…
This weekend, we went into the new Apple store in our local mall. We waded through the sea of people inside, standing shoulder to shoulder, but still smiling. Smiling? Hell, they were all humming “I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing, In Perfect Harmony”. It truly must be what heaven is like.
Over to one side, there was a completely unexpected light glowing softly – a light so warm and welcoming, I felt like I was in the presence of my beloved, departed grandmother.
As we drew closer, I could see that it was a notebook computer, one of the models we’ve been considering. Remarkably, no one else was looking at that computer. It was like it had appeared as a vision to just myself, and Mrs. That Dan Guy. A vision of hope, and pure, unadulterated happiness. Doves flew gently overhead, as I moved my unworthy fingers towards the keyboard.
Now, I’ve known for a while that the Mac computers are amazing, and have some rather skookum features. But a salesperson arrived, and started to do a demo that still has my hair standing straight on end, like a newborn orang-utan. Even David Copperfield didn’t impress me as much as that demonstration. I was left aghast, agape, awed.
Now, more than ever, my life depends, nay – clings, on getting my Mac…
Chow for now!!

It is interesting how 2 people can be in the same place at the same time and yet recall 2 totally different experiences, isnt it?
Apple Store - Stood for what seemed like hours as the salesman zoomed around the Mac, creating a smile so large on Mr That Dan Guy I thought his face would split in two!
Bright, glowing light, yes, this was the first sign of dehydration and fatigue.
I was left Awfully thirsty, Awfully tired and Amazingly my hair did not stand straight up, but rather drooped from the heat of all the bodies in the store....
Yes, my life too depends on a Mac, if not to stop the constant "Omigods" and "I cant wait" and on and on and on from Mr That Dan Guy, who now repeats this incessantly even in his sleep!
Oh my...
I hadn't realized that your comprehension skills had diminished so much!!
Oh dear...
Well, at least we agree on one thing - MAC!!!!!!!!!
I dont recall seeing the word "agree" anywhere, nor has it ever been verbalized!
Now who's comprehension skills are diminishing?
Poor girl, the brilliance of The Mac has left her senses dazzled.
She clearly doesn't recall our conversation in the car, after visiting the Apple Store.
I had to actually calm her down, and let her know that we COULDN'T buy the Mac just yet, but she was soooooo insistent.
But, we are close.
So very, very close...
