One Small Step

I have a problem. Actually I have several problems but I’d rather not scare people away, so I’ll only talk about my computer problem. My computer problem is “what kind of Mac should I buy”?

Some background. I’ve worked on Macs off and on since 1989 and love them (the first Mac I used was a SE30 running System 6). I’ve worked on PCs as well and they are pretty good too. I haven’t had a Mac at home in several years and it’s time. I have a Dell 8500 that’s going on 7 years old. I bought it after a layoff and a PC made more sense at the time. I have a big birthday coming up. I’m not going to tell you how old but it rhymes with “nifty” (or “shifty”) and, by gum, I’m a-gittin’ me a MAC. Now which one?

My choices are the 15″ MacBook pro or the new 27″ iMac. Both are the same price and both have their pros and cons.  I know notebooks outsell desktops now , but that 27″ monitor is pretty appealing. . . . Hmmmm. . . . .
