Now that the Snow was somewhat manageable to drive in, I braved the elements and went to pick up my Hard Drive, and wound up stopping at the Apple Store @ Kenwood Towne Centre Mall and bought a new 13" MacBook Pro! It is AH-MAZINGGGG!!! I absolutely LOVE it!!! I also got a case, a DVI adapter, the iWork bundle of programs, the 3-year AppleCare warranty and a wireless HP printer (which is only gonna cost me $30 after the $100 mail-in rebate) all for less than the cost of what I paid for my old machine 5 years ago. It runs on a completely different operating system, so it's going to take some getting used to, but the machine is absolutely PRISTINE and I am utterly in LOVE with the thing. I've yet to transfer my old files over, but I'm going to take it down to computerDNA and let them handle that. The people there are a HUGE help. If you ever have problems with data loss, I highly recommend their services. It cost me $80 to recover my data and they took my internal hard drive out for me and copied everything to my external hard drive. I don't know what I'm going to do with my carcas of a laptop that's just sitting there destroyed... it's pretty much a worthless hunk of metal. I'm glad I captured the moment of opening the box with this photo! It's PRICELESS!!! If you've ever bought a Mac, I'm sure you can relate!!!
