Presenting...

Our new iMac!!!

Ahhhhhhhhh! I have dreamed of this day for a long, long time. We have been a one laptop household since before we got married, and while I still love my old macbook, it was high time we got something with a bigger screen. I've had my macbook for 5 years now and have NEVER had one single problem with it. Oh, except once when I got a library CD stuck in it - nothing a little googling couldn't fix.

Ted has had several Dell laptops in the past few years that have all bit the dust for various reasons. After seeing the quality and benefits of a Mac, he saw the light and I've officially converted him. Yessss!

One of the perks Ted gets as a medical resident is a book/technology stipend. He had some money left this year and they allowed him to combine it with next years' money to buy a new computer. Since he constantly needs the computer for important things like work and studying, I basically never get to use it at home. 

The next item on my wish list is Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. I learned Photoshop on the full CS version, but sadly that is not going to be in the budget. I think Elements does a really good job of capturing all the basic functions though, and it should serve my purposes well. It's just going to be a matter of learning where all the buttons are again. 

As much as I hate to admit it, I think we are going to need this too. Ted needs a lot of these programs for work and it would be nice to have a better typing program available.

In a nutshell - I'm beyond excited about this computer. I've been a Mac geek for years now and can't wait to see everything this baby can do.
