apple thoughts.

for a while now i've been thinking about getting a new computer. not that i don't like the one that i currently have, but it is starting to have some currently minor issues that will soon turn into much larger issues and i really don't want to have to deal with that.

recently an opportunity has come up in which i will be assisted in getting some type of electronic (computer, ipod, printer, computer monitor, etc.). with this opportunity came up a flood of ideas concerning what i could get. actually, not really a flood, just one and later two or three things. the first thing that popped into my head was a new computer, specifically a macbook.

as i processed this possibility of actually getting one i addressed the very real process in which i go through when looking into a something new that i don't know much about. the first step is taking time to think over the issue, which is anywhere from a week, to a month, to years in some cases (see my tattoo). the second step is finding out all that i can about what it is that i want, and talking to people who know something about it. the third step is usually a week to two week period in which i really think about and talk to more people about what it is that i want when i know exactly what i want. and lastly, the fourth step is the acquisition of what it is that i want, and usually occurs pretty quickly, or as quickly as is allowed.

for the last week and a half i have been in the first step of my process. i haven't spent much time dwelling on the possibility but thinking about it whenever it comes up. tonight came the critical transition point from step one to step two. tonight i decided that i for sure want to get a new computer and began investigating macbooks. i am actually within a couple choices of the exact product that i want. i have also emailed a close friend who recently got a macbook, and asked her a list of questions that i hope will help me in my pursuit of decision making.

this could go much quicker than my process has previously taken, and that could be a good thing. i'm looking forward to the possibilities that the future holds for me and my electronics.

the future owner of a mac?
