sweating in CR

computer...

so, my good old faithful laptop kicked the bucket on friday...i brought her in to the genius bar today (well, yesterday, but don't get me started...it turns out that i am impatient...who knew? it was only worsened when i mentioned to the dude that if i had no computer, i had no access to the internet and was thusly unable to make an appointment online. what did he do? pulled out his iPhone. as in "if you had an iPhone, you could have made an appointment. fucker.)
ANYWAY...today i went in and the genius that helped me actually went to school with me at the art institute. really nice guy. and when he told me my hard drive was probably fried, and i mentioned that i would probably have to get an iMac, he totally vouched for me and said i was still a student.
and THEN the guy who came to help me pick out my iMac was TOTALLY flirting, i think. somehow i mentioned i had just been to costa rica, and it turned out he has been to the volcano we went to! and even climbed it! so he FURTHER vouched for me being a student (i had no ID on me nor did i have a class schedule...since i have already graduated...) and i got the discount on my BRAND NEW IMAC!
it is HUGE!
i LOVE IT!
it is the 24 inch, 2.8GHz one. it is bigger then my basement.
so, now i am about to start reloading some of my shit, trying to remember websites i had linked and such.
i love this fucking machine. it needs a name.

size queen. ;)

sounds awesome, though. and yes, those genius bar guys take their genius status a little too seriously sometimes. also sounds like the Mac store is a great place to find a bf. Too bad I'm dedicated to my PC :(

I'm jealous. Is your Apple Store as full of cuties as the ones in Portland?

In case you hadn't read, a new version of the iMac came out today. You can exchange your new iMac for the newest one, if you want. :)

Also, if you use Firefox for your browser, download the Foxmarks extension before returning the computer. It saves all your bookmarks on its server. That way, you won't have to add all your bookmarks manually when you get your awesome new compy home.

d'oh. i don't use it, but i would have totally done this.

it's all good, i figure if i can't remember the link off the top of my head, i didn't really need it anyway. and if my laptop comes back, i can grab them from there!
