OK
I BOUGHT it
I took it
OUT of the BOX
& physically set it on the DESK
BUT
I haven't set it up or anything
THAT
is too much for TODAY
the guy who was helping me
is all LIKE
you seem VERY SAVVY
& I'm LIKE
I am NOT really all that savvy
BUT
I can get by, I think
he just thinks that because I KNEW
what I was looking for
I did research
I have bought laptops
since I replaced the iMAC
BUT
my last laptop was before pandemic
& I'm nervous about my
SKILL SET
BUT
I KNOW I don't NEED a laptop
BECAUSE I CAN
do all that stuff on my phone
I KNOW I NEED
something for writing
because if I'm doing anything longform
my phone is NOT all that practical
especially since I type with
ONE FINGER
as opposed to the three or four that I use with a KEYBOARD
I thought about a freewrite
BUT
I don't think that is my best option
I MIGHT want to do
VIDEO
I MIGHT want to do
GRAPHIC STUFF
I'm NOT SURE
I want to play a couple games
BUT
I'm not REALLY a gamer
I FIGURE
I NEED something KINDA versatile
more or less GENERAL use
& I WANT an ALL in ONE
because they are sleek and not a bunch of cords
blah blah blah
BUT
I MIGHT need more power when I figure out
WHAT'S up
& THIS can become a monitor (HDMI)
which not everything can
I was considering the pro + mini
BUT
that's probably MORE than I NEED
THIS lets me add that later
if I need it
SO
it's an ASUS M-series
27" monitor
I wanted to look at the PORTS
& I'm LIKE
is this the one with
16gb RAM & 1tb SSD
he's LIKE
YES
SO
SEE I come off as SAVVY
BUT
I may cry and scream
& NEED help setting it up
OR
it may be smooth as silk
it wasn't too much more expensive than the
iMAC was back in 2000
although they are saying that the
BASE model iMAC
NOW
is the same price as it was BEFORE
MAYBE I got mine on sale THEN
it's three hundred more than I paid then
the only reason it was
MORE
is that I got service & ANTI virus
which I wouldn't
NORMALLY
BUT
it SEEMED like a good idea
to me NOW
27" is pretty BIG for ME
I'm LIKE
SWANKY
I was gonna tackle the closet
BECAUSE
I've been JUST
CRAMMING sh*t in there
WILLY NILLY
since the last time I organized it
AND
it is HEINOUS
BUT
I think it's gonna need to be
EVERYTHING pulled OUT
I've gotta lug the boxes downstairs
& either OUT to the TRASH
OR
GOODWILL, depending
SO
if I can go to bed early
GET UP EARLY
& deal with all THAT
MAYBE I can FEEL like
I really got something DONE
I'd LIKE to get the closet at LEAST
STARTED
SO
THAT is
a LOT of DEMAND for me
we'll SEE
HOW it goes
