Tonight I purchased an 11-inch MacBook Air online from the Apple Store. With the AppleCare package, taxes, and an expedited shipment fee, it came out to almost exactly what you all donated for the cause. You guys are awesome! I’ve never been so indecisive about anything in my life. I researched this decision for days and couldn’t choose between a refurbished MacBook Pro (Nov. 2010 edition) and a brand-new MacBook Air. Could I live without a DVD drive? What about a smaller screen, less memory, and shorter battery life? On the other hand, the O/S Lion operating system is so cool and only available right now on the MacBook Air. Did I really want the same computer (basically) that I’ve been using for the last three years? And just when it’s been discontinued? Plus, the MacBook Air is so light and cool-looking. The price came out about the same either way. I think it was $100 more for the refurbished MacBook. In any case, new and up-to-date won out. I paid the $13 dollars for guaranteed two-day delivery and then realized that they’ll never get it to me in two-days because a hurricane will be going on. Doh!
In any case, thank you so much for collectively chipping in and helping me overcome my boneheaded move of leaving my laptop out in a rainstorm. I’ll be forever grateful. Hopefully my internet access will return one day and you’ll get to read something I’ve written on the new MacBook Air!
