Bit by the Apple Bug

I am by no means ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest and greatest devices that are popping up on the technological landscape. Sure, I love my laptop, my cell phone and my ipod touch – and I certainly love wireless capabilities – but I’m not your typical “techie-chaser.”

So I thought.

The new Macbook is awesome! Dubbed the Macbook Air (don’t you just love the sound of it?!), this new Apple notebook is barely three quarters of an inch thick and weighs a mere three pounds. It can even fit in a manila folder – which in itself is a completely useless piece of information other than to show how small it is!

Really the air-like weight is what really gets me excited. The last time I toted my laptop through an airport and to various business meetings, I developed terrible shooting pains in my back that spread through to my ribs and chest. Seriously I went to the Dr. and asked if I was having a heart attack. Luckily, that wasn't the case, but he gave me a stern warning to watch the amount of weight I put on my shoulder. (i.e., empty out that purse.)

Despite all this excitement and enticement about this dream machine, my husband (and that damn Suze Orman) are having an impact on me.

I’m going to pass on this for now – it’s just not in the budget. I guess I'll add it to the wish list....
