Well, today was going to be the day. I was going to get a Macbook Pro. Unfortuntately after talking with the good folks at the Apple Store and discovering that they were unable to switch/adjust the original set up, I decided to re-group and am planning on going tomorrow (Wed). Why a Pro you ask? Great question. I have been waffling recently about which to get, the Macbook or the MB Pro. While I actually like the look of the Macbook and the $300-500 price difference, I am leaning to the Pro. I can't get pass the larger screen (I wear glasses for a reason), the back lit keyboard, the newest intel chips which run cooler and with less battery drain. The plan is to head up to the Apple Store in Lenox (ATL, holla) tomorrow evening and talk with the Apple Genius (read: sales people) and see what they think "my needs require." If they can convince me to go with the Macbook, that will be fine too. So that is exciting. OS X here I come.
It is weird the amount of resistance I am getting about switching from a Windows PC to the Mac's. My family is weirdly against the move. I had another (number 4 or so) conversation with my dad about why I think Mac's are the best fit for me today. I don't know, I think a lot of it is just fear. I hate to sound analytical about it, but we are all just so afraid of the unknown that we will do almost anything to keep comfortable.
Well, I got a call from a church in Logansville today about a potential youth job. It is at best it is unlikely that things will work out. They are looking for immediate help and we are still living here in WR and so that is a big hurdle, but we are going to talk and see what comes of it. IF we could be a good fit for each other, I would like to pursue the position. I will be talking with the lady in charge of interviews later this week.
Well, I am off to rest. One more day of VBS and then a relaxing weekend. I will let you know about the Mac situation.

sellout....
once you go Mac you'll never go back.
:(
I went to the Mac store in Jax Saturday. I must have spent 45 minutes just at the front of the store playing with an iPhone....never even made it past that table. Yesterday a clergy person was down here at the office who has an iPhone and let me tinker with it all day long. Talk about a distraction. Does your family know you can run Windows on a Mac now? Best of both worlds.
