I've almost put Photoshop on my laptop but now that I got the mobile internet card to use out in BFE at my grandparents I can finally use my Mac here so there's no need anymore. You have to buy a not-so-cheap adapter for Macs to work on dial-up >_> It's stupid.
I only got the Mac because my mom's tax return was massive that year, and she was so mad at the stupid HP not working she was in a generous mood XD
And I personally have no bills to pay, so I'm sure by this time next year I would have the money to snag another one.
Yeah and to a degree this still exists, but I remember a few years ago how cool people seemed if they had Razr phones and Apple stuff, like iPods and iPhones. When it was all super shiny and new, only the people with money had them at first and it made you a little cooler to have one.
And I've enjoyed my Apple products, all of them have lasted me much longer then similar products I've had of different brands. It's still not as long as I would like, but for as much as I use things (especially ipods) the length of time is impressive, cheaper things have broken down much sooner.
But now I'm an apple person just because I've been impressed that the stuff has lasted me longer then other stuff has. That's about it really.
I really wish it wasn't a status symbol, because having this stuff doesn't make anyone cooler in the least bit XD I've also been really insulted by people over my Mac, but they're elitist PC snobs that know all about maintaining their PCs/building them/working on them… Which I don't, which is why I've enjoyed the Mac so much because it hasn't needed fixing (which is not true of all Macs, my friend has had to have his screen replaced twice and various other small problems). But it's a shame that I have to be a target of ridicule just because I have a freakin Mac. It's just a computer.
I'm getting really tired of being ridiculed over stupid shit that I have/like, but that's another story XD
I'm glad the specific phone fad has died down some. No one cares about Razrs anymore and almost everyone I know has an iPhone now. Except for me, but I really don't care XD
I don't get the iPad thing either. I would rather wait until the technology is perfected then having a pretty shotty product now and then have to buy a completely new one a couple of years from now.
