I needed a new iMac. Nothing particularly wrong with my Jan 2008 model, except that it is no longer supported with OS upgrades, but there is a time for all things and that time was now.
Easy enough: get on the Mac site and spec up what I wanted. Then it goes and spoils it all by telling you the price! Thought I would chance it anyway, so I mentioned it in passing to Mrs C ............ as you do and I got the look!!! I swear I could see the snakes moving and I was starting to feel a little stone-like, so I backed off. I went back to the Tinternet and de-speced the iMac to a more acceptable price. Whilst it may have been a better price, I would have ended up with a computer that I just didn't want, so there was nothing for it but to brave Mrs C again. I told her that's what I needed, I could afford it and quite frankly, at my age I shouldn't have to compromise! Ok she said. You can order it once you have fully decorated the office.
Just waiting for the new carpet to be laid next Tuesday, iMac coming on Wednesday. Here is a Photoshop impression of the decorated office, I'll take some actual photo's once all is complete.
