Week 2, Day 5: A new tool

I decided finally to make an investment in this dissertation effort and replace the laptop that died. Sarah Palin destroyed my laptop back when she did the disastrous Katie Couric interview. In the middle of watching it online, a strange metallic sound came out of my computer and it went dead. That was many months ago. I have been limping along on a POS backup laptop we bought on ebay three years ago. It doesnt hold an internet connection for longer than five minutes, takes anywhere from 3 to 10 attempts to power up and frequently needs rebooting.

I love my new Mac. It feels so good to get it set up the way I like it, get all my tools there, put my files where I want them... the backup computer wasnt even big enough to store all my files on the hard drive!
