Leslie Nord's Random Thoughts on Friends, Family and Life

I never was much of a writer - more like a rambler that easily gets lost in a tangent. My blog lets me go out on those tangents any time I want to. So remember, life is like a roller coaster: sit down and hang on. Sometimes you'll want to scream, sometimes you'll puke, but give it a chance and you'll find it can be a lot of fun.

Apple, I Hate You

July 5, 2010 by leslie Leave a Comment

The list of Apple products I’d like to purchase continues to grow. Now that our Verizon Wireless contract is about up, we are looking to jump ship because after two years of promises promises, they still don’t have the iPhone. Sure, I’ve read the hype that Verizon “might” have it’s version of the iPhone in 2011, but some of us are impatient, but I won’t name names.

Me, I’d like the iPad, but not just any iPad, the 64GB iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G. Yeah, I know, good grief.

Hubby is ready to ditch his Dell desktop for an iMac, but which one? I think the 27 inch one is the do all, see all, but he says the 21.5 inch is good enough.

I would love to be able to surprise Megan with a new MacBook, considering her father had told her he would give her his. Tangent alert – my ex-husband using a Mac makes me laugh so hard, I remember having to be his Mac go to person when ever he ran across an issue with a Mac.

And then there is the updated MacBook Pro, with it’s new 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 that has caught my eye. Now if I were to get a new laptop I could reformat this one to be used by someone else.

So the Wish List becomes:

2 iPhones – $498 plus selling our soul to AT&T Apple Care $99 per phone
64GB iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G – $829.00 plus $30 each month that I want to use the 3G access Apple Care $99
iMac 21.5-inch: 3.33GHz – $1,699.00 Apple Care $169
MacBook 2.4GHz : 250GB – $999 (now if I got a new MacBook Pro I could reformat mine for Megan) Apple Care $249
MacBook Pro 17-inch – $2,599.00 (hmmm, should I go with a solid state hard drive) Apple Care $349

Without adding in Apple Care it’s $6624, but I have a great appreciation for Apple Care because it fixed this laptop in less than two days at no charge to me.

But still, Apple, I hate you!

Those of you who were betting that my knees would be the first "metal" replacements, you lost. I now have a bit of titanium in my cervical spine. I wonder if the doc will give me a pic of the post-op x-rays?

Those who know me, know to send lavender roses and daisies.
