Re: Possible IMAC upgrade
John, yer a bloke, you had convinced yourself ages ago that you needed the upgrade, you don't need another bloke to convince you ;)
Your thought processes went something like this (tick which apply):-
-My eyesights getting worse , I need a bigger screen to compensate.
-My photography will definitely go down the pan if I don't get a bigger screen.
-I've worked damned hard this year, I deserve a big screen.
-I walked all the way from the shops this morning without standing in the cracks on the pavement, lucky omen, get a bigger screen.
Length of time for the above thought process-max 5 minutes.
Now you start rehearsing the arguments you are going to make to the Gaffer (the Mrs), these arguments are unlikely to be the ones you used to yourself to justify the upgrade, so it requires careful repetition in your head to get them just right, you don't want to mix the arguments up. Also, at the same time you start to plan on the 'when' you are going to broach the reasons you need a 27 inch screen, get the timing wrong and you have blown it, no matter how strong your arguments are. Amount of time for working through the above strategy to persuade the Gaffer-around 3 weeks.
Good luck
