My lil' baby Mac

I got a laptop computer my second year of college, we're talking 2004 folks. It was like a dream come true. I used it faithfully all through my college years. We laughed together. We cried together. We wrote lots of papers, emails, and facebook messages. We listened to a lot of music and watched a lot of shows on line. We talked on MSN and Gchat a LOT. We stored a TON of photos. We wasted a lot of time online...I'm sure.
Then one day I graduated college, and though my once new electronic genius, was growing older and slower by the day, we still hung in there together. We would patiently wait 10 minutes for it to turn on. We laughed and cried a little when it started sounding like a spaceship was taking off, or a vacuum whenever I used it. We got annoyed when it decided to randomly turn off because I'd been using it too long and it overheated and gave up, but we were patient. We had been friends for a while, remember? Friends are friends for a reason.
And then I began saving my money...secretly so my lifelong partner in cybercrime (not real cybercrime...figuratively speaking of course) wouldn't know. 5 years old in computer years is like 200. My little dinosaur had seen better days. Finally, about a year ago this time I had enough to buy a new computer and the lil' baby macbook was born.

Life changing I tell you. Sadly, I never opened the other computer again. Sometimes relationships are like that ya know, you just have to move forward and not look back...or you'll turn to salt, or something. Because of this lil' guy I have been able to do so much more with my fitness blog and my (work in progress) website. I don't think I could have even attempted working on either with my old computer. Yikes. Today I am grateful for my laptop. I am a convert to the Mac family. Once you go Mac you never go back.
