PixelRN

I've crossed to the Other Side. It's been 12 long years and I never thought I'd go down that road again. Some told me "never do it!" Others said I'm crazy not to.

I went and bought a Mac.

It was those new commercials that did it. You know the ones with the cool guy and the nerdy guy standing around talking. Nerdy guy = PC, Cool = Mac. In one commercial, PC guy is coughing and sneezing because he has a virus and Mac guy says, "Oh, I never really get viruses."

Concurrently, my PC was hit bad by an insidious virus. One day I just snapped and went straight to the Apple store and bought the iMac with the 20-inch screen. Oh how it gleams. And yes, I know I could have bought an apple mini and paired it with a higher end monitor and saved some bucks. But I am helplessly enamored by the fact that there is no hard drive that I can see. It's inside the monitor.

I also bought the iPod nano and now there is music in my life again. I started libraritizing my CD collection and it's funny how everything gets dumped in the "90's music" folder. It's as if music stopped existing for me after the 21st century. No worries, though I have pandora.com to keep me current.

Not to mention GarageBand, which I am coaxing my husband to play with more and to work less.

So how does a pixelRN afford all of this you may be wondering? Well, no babies on the way yet...it's good to be a DINK.
