Mac-aio-Rama

you must be thinking the title must have been a slip up for mac-o-rama ???

No, you read it right, Mac-aio-Rama...

A few months back I decided to take advantage of the Apple's offer for students and get a mac. I made a deal with my hubby. 

me - "I get to keep the laptop and you get to keep the ipod-touch that comes free with it."

hubby - "  and the laptop will be registered in my name,  Deal ?" 

me - stared at him like this...

( later I began to persuade him to go for a Management degree, since he knows how to make good of  every situation ...)

We went to the Apple store... Let me tell you, it's something about the lighting in that store that mesmerizes us and makes us stay there longer... And the longer we stay, higher the chances we come out with something that has a bitten apple on it...

We bought the mac home...

Oh! I was so thrilled...I didn't want to sleep that day...

next day, it dawned -- I am not smart enough for a Mac !!!!!!!

I had a tough time figuring out the keyboard functions...

I thought there was no right click until she told me that it exists...

Every few days I come across a function that I believed didn't exist and be totally awed by it...

I have had it for like 8 months now and totally love it !!! I don't care if I am not smart enough for it, I still love my Mac...

Alright, but why the aio-rama ? 

... its because I have read such good reviews on the Mac's reliability that people say it's hard to find an excuse to replace it with the newer, gorgeous macs... that means 5-6 years down the lane, it will be very difficult to make another deal with my hubby...aio-rama...

mmm...

I came across this when I was looking up some old files on my computer, probably forwarded to me by family or a friend. 

Whoever wrote the above verse deserves this.

I believe life is too short to waste time thinking about people who don't care about you. Over the years I have learnt to be like a mirror -- Reflect behavior. 

If people come to me when they need something and then ignore me; Here's what I do - Ignore them.

I have learnt to focus my attention to people who really care and as a result have developed strong bonds with some truly wonderful people and feel very lucky to have them in my life...

OOPS...

Everyone has their oops moments once in a while. I have had those and when I think about those moments later, I just cant stop wondering how did that happen?

Here's one such moment:

We didnt have our Toyota back then and our trusted Suburu was our Pushpaka Vimana (still is...)...One weekend we headed out to the movies. I had my learner's permit.

Hubby - "why dont you drive?"

me - "do I have to?"

Hubby - "The more you drive, the more confident you will be for your DL test..."

me - "but I drive so slow, we wont make it in time to the movies..."

Hubby - "do you always have to have a ready-made answer ?"

We got into the car. 

Seat belt ON - YES

Music ON - YES

Door closed - Errr...

Apparently, I had not shut my side of the door properly !!! Our Suburu doesnt have the beeper and my poor hubby put the car in reverse, got the car out of the parking spot and made a sharp curve and OPEN SESAME !!!!

I blurted out aloud - - - Tadaaaa.....

OOPS !!!

What happened next? - I learnt what I have to do in such situations - - -  keep my mouth shut !!!

One of the things that we first checked for when buying our Toyota was whether it had the warning beeper. Luckily it gives warning audio-visuals...

When we both think of  this incident, it never fails to induce a hearty laugh !!!
