New computer

It's been a little while since my last post, but I have an excuse! Our hard drive on our mac crashed and we have been computer-less for the last week or two. But alas, we have a computer once more! Instead of fixing our old one we were able to purchase a NEW one with the help of my mom and dad (early birthday presents). :) So I am now typing to you all via this all-in-one iMac desktop! YAY!

It took a lot of convincing to not buy a laptop but we came to the conclusion that we just don't head out to a coffee shop with our laptops in our spare time anymore! Joey has his laptop for school purposes and the ONLY other reason we have used our laptop in it's true form is for DVD watching for the girls on long trips. So we concluded that for the same amount of money we could get:

1. MUCH larger screen

2. WAY more memory

3. Better proccessor

4. more ram

All for the SAME price as a laptop! So that is just what we did and so far so good! We are hoping this will last us a little longer as we will not be trudging it around with us everywhere we go and it is out of the reach of two little hooligans (a portable DVD player is next on our list of technology-based things to buy)! :) I have come to LOVE macs so much (I can't really explain it) and I LOVE this computer! Anyway, it also makes our Netflix watching a little more fun! (Our TV is in the basement and so we've become accustomed to watching most of our movies on our laptop--now iMac.)
