everything happens for a reason

Once and for all i decided not to get a bike. Even though I accepted the fact that I was inevitably going to fall down, and could possibly die i was still willing to get it, but the deciding factor was my friends and family. I wouldn't feel good knowing that every time I left my house they might be hurting, worried that i might not be coming back.

AND WITH MUCH LESS MONEY I GOT...... A MAC PRO!!!!! I feel that with this "investment" i can do far more! Plus I got really lucky with the price. The night prior i walked into the Mac store with jessica with the money ready to by the base Mac Pro With only 1 Quad core Nehalem Processor, and a mere 3 GB of RAM. When I walked up to the computer ready to buy I had to go through 3 PEOPLE whom each told me that I had to make an appointment to give them money and walk out with my MacPro (I told them I didn't need training or a tutorial) Ridiculous! They told me they could make an appointment for me in 2 hours with such a big purchase they wanted to go over the computer. They loose. The next day i found an ad on craigslist and to make a long story short left with MacPro that had specs exceeding that in the store.

Here are the specs:

2 x 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon (Quad-Core)
Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT (Dual Screen Support)
5GB DDR2 RAM
1 x 250GB HD
2 x 1 TB HD
Superdrive

Also:
Logitech Z-2300 Speakers
2 x 19" Acer X193w Monitors

Everything cost me under 2k with a value of almost 3500 if bought at the apple store. Needless to say I'm very happy.

Next i want to take more pictures and learn more about photoshop. The first thing i did was make the new banner :D
