I'm both annoyed and excited

So, given that my computer has been having battery problems for a while (first gen MacBook — I should have waited for second gen, but I really, really wanted one), already blew one hard drive, and neither Blizz nor Apple can fix my current problem ... I think I'm probably going to go buy a MacBook Pro on Monday. *facepalm*

Should I? No. Aside from game play issues and the fact that reinstalling my OS destroyed the usability of Pages and my photo editing program somehow (they both hop around like they're opening and then freeze — ironically, these are the two programs I use the most other than WoW), it's still working pretty well. Unless I unplug it. Then it dies.

But I can afford one right now, which might not be the case by this time next year, and dammit, I am missing Hallow's End AND the zombies. And I could really use the new toys that come with it, since I want to start doing some freelance web design and writing again. And, well, I kinda need Pages working for that, and to be able to import and edit photos.

Plus I really want one. And my mom has been the only person to try and talk me out of it so far, and she cracked as soon as I argued my case. *shifty eyes*

So ... hopefully I'll be able to catch the end of the events. And actually try out my new specs and stuff. And maybe even get Ahami closer to 70 — though I don't think she'll make it before the expansion, I can at least still haul ass for 68 so she can head right into healing in Northrend.

Don't look to me to try to talk you out of it! I've bought myself a new laptop, a PC, primarily for work.... but it runs WoW fairly well which is great. A new computer will almost certainly run the game MUCH better than your 3? year old one.

I've used one of the last model macbook pro's for work and they are nice machines. The just released ones look even better.
