Love, Shiny and New
At 6:39 pm last night my beautiful, glowing, 5.6 pound baby was placed in my arms. I felt myself swell with hope, joy and pride. The sweet little ID said
PBG4 15"/1.25GHZ/512/80/SuperDrive.
The delivery was relatively swift and painless, just a faint tinge of concern about reimbursement coming before my credit card bill (i religiously avoid carrying a balance). Suddenly the trip home felt fraught with peril. I sought to, with subtlety, protect the precious bundle in my arms, and the Airport Extreme Base Station in a bag on my back. If only I had a volvo and a car seat.
It’s so incredibly beautiful. This is my first PowerBook. My other Mac is so old - the Lazarus machine - it has died and been brought back so many times. This is also my first laptop, because I could never justify one to myself before. It kept me up late last night. I barely ate. I just wanted to figure it all out and I couldn’t stop caressing it or put it down. I kept washing my hands to keep it as silky soft and clean as it came. I turned off my lights except for the tv and the soft white glow of the backlit keyboard took my breathe away.
ooooh i want to be home with it now.
Mommy’s bringing a new ethernet cable for the router and getting your wireless network all hooked up today. Sleep now, my precious one....
