welcome to technology suzi

I will admit when it comes to the technology race, i'm usually in last place (and happy with it). I will avoid buying the new/hip products as much as possible because... well i'm cheap. I don't see spending tons of money on a product when in a month it will be the old model or broken. I have bought a few really nice electronic items in my life but experience has lead me to believe that they are not supposed to survive a year or two. It seemed like such a waste. I could not stand it. My father loves to to buy semi-nice electronics, so my house has become this electronic graveyard. For example, we probably have 3 or 4 PC laptops and 3 desktops that all slow as hell and/or have something wrong with them. 

This last semester I have come to realize how important technology really is to a student in the design/art field. It's been like pulling teeth with me but i am actually starting to like it. My dell laptop that i got when i started college just didn't have what it took to hold up this semester so i saved and saved for a macbook. I learned to use photoshop and illustrator this semester so i knew i was going to need them sooner or later.  

I got the standard macbook and even passed up the black one because it was $100 more for the same model. I also splurged and got the CS4 design standard. I'm on my new mac right now and am waiting for the software to be delivered as we speak. i'm pretty excited. i just hope the mac will prove my bad attitude wrong and last for years.
