The day has finally arrived. After years of hard work, heartache, and new beginnings, I can finally retire “Patillac” the MacBook Pro. Arriving today was the 24″ iMac, complete with 4GB memory, 640 GB HD and a screen so magnificent it rivaled the plasma in the living room (okay, okay…I may be exaggerating on this one a bit, but hey this has been a long time in the making). Actually, now that I think of it, I first made the decision to switch over to the iMac in October/November. I did my homework and committing to the desktop was pretty easy. But I decided I would wait until after MacWorld 2009, thinking there would be a huge modification to the iMac. That came and went, and not much was done…but I continued to hold off. There were some financial commitments that came up in-between MacWorld (January ‘09) and the summer (however, during that time the iMac’s were given an “upgrade”), but WWDC ‘09 and the announcement of Snow Leopard really got me excited. Here we are today (July ‘09) and Bonster comes down and tells me it is time for me to get a new computer…that’s music to my ears!! I’m so lucky!! But looking back, from October/November ‘08 until July ‘09 is ~9 months. LOL see where I’m going with this. Damn, I feel like a mother who spent 9 months anticipating the birth of new life, and now that its here I just want to spend every waking minute with it, coddle with it, and I can’t wait to watch it “grow up” and take on a life of its own!! Okay, don’t worry, I haven’t lost my mind…but I’m a huge “MacHead” so this is pretty damn special, so let me be!! Can’t say thanks enough to Bon for making it happen!! You rock!!

Enjoy retirement Patillac
Welcome, iMac (Name TBD)
