New Computer FTW!

mousmeOkay, I will admit to a strategic omission of truth: I already had a new computer when I made my last post from work. I just wasn't sure how long it would take technologically-challenged me to get things up and running.
Luckily, Mac is great for Idiot!Users such as myself, and with a FireWire cable and a few mouse clicks, not only was the new computer ready to go, but ALL my settings and stuff from the old computer got zapped onto the new computer within fifteen minutes. You could knock me over with a feather. Hell, it even kept me logged into LJ! Now that's impressive!
So, everyone, meet Cicero: Cicero is my new MacBook. Cicero is very, very shiny. I shall be exploring many of the bells and whistles over the next few days.
I am thrilled about the new computer. I am very much less thrilled about the timing. I mean, yes, I got a significant rebate thanks to my father (university rebates FTW!), but it still came at a time when I could have used that money, oh, say, for my upcoming move and for the furniture I wanted. So I'm re-thinking some of my priorities, figuring out what I'll need right away, what purchases I can defer, and what I can arrange to buy on a long-term payment plan instead of cash down.
In short: YAY!
