Remember the other day how I was saying that Apple stuff hardly ever goes on sale? Well, guess what went on sale today? Ha! I used this as an opportunity to order the MacBook Pro like I had wanted last Sunday. The discounts weren’t what I had originally expected. Yesterday, a colleague told me that he was anticipating maybe $200 off of some laptops. No, when I went online this morning I found that the discounts where more like $100 or so. Sure, it wasn’t as big as the potential $200 off that I would have gotten if I went to that Best Buy sale a lot earlier, but it was enough to encourage me to make the purchase this morning.
I don’t think I’m considering myself a convert, per se. I did say in the other entry that I wanted to see for myself how big of a difference there is between using a PC and a Mac. I’m no longer in university, so the need to use a lot of the technical apps specific to PC is a lot less. These days I’m only doing average and mundane everyday stuff. As such, why not go for a system that has a little bit more polish? As much as it frustrates me at time, I’m not going to be chucking my laptop right away. My plan is to have both systems on hand, slowly making the transition to make the MBP my daily system. We’ll see how it goes. I have a lot of questions, but I have enough Mac-minded friends to guide me through my first steps. It’s going to be a fun and interesting time.

Ooh, so much fun. I’m already finding big differences in the way I work. I’m enjoying it.
