Well, I realize that I am a few steps behind some people, but this weekend I decided to take advantage of North Carolina’s tax free weekend and Ashley’s status as a “student” to get a 17″ iMac tax free with educational discounts bundled with a free (after rebate) iPod Nano and HP printer/scanner.  It was a pretty good deal, and I have been wanting to check out the world of Mac for a while now.  Ashley’s laptop is painfully slow and she really doesn’t need a laptop anyways, so I thought the iMac would be the best/least expensive way to approach the problem.

It is a damn sexy machine.  I’ll give Apple that much, they know how to make things pretty.  It is pretty cool what you can do when you make it so the machine isn’t intended to be field upgradable.

Of course now Steve Jobs is likely going to announce a bunch of cool stuff at WWDC, but whatever he announces, I’ll likely not get the deal I did yesterday.

I welcome my new computer into my home.
