Thaw before reheating.

I had to call in the order to get the discounted Creative Suite ($299, normally priced at $599 with academic discount) and the free Ipod Touch that came with the order (toy for Paul, hooray!) Since those two discounts were only available with the purchase of a new computer, we went new instead of refurb. It’s rare for us to buy anything new, so it felt very odd. And stressful.
But it’s done. We’re about to be proud Apple parents. Phew.

Regular dishes on life in New Orleans, historic home renovation, raising kids, completing a PhD, travel near and far, global concerns, and health issues.
You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.
We strive to make our life our argument.

We got an Imac with a 24″ display and the beefier video card. Now that the shock of actually spending money on something besides tile and drywall is wearing off, I’m starting to get excited…

Yay, Did you know I’m working for Apple now? I’ve been thinking about that model for a home/family computer, but haven’t taken the plunge yet. So far, the kids don’t really need a computer and we are finding the laptops workable. I don’t need as many screens as Paul, though I do like plenty of screen real estate.

You know, we actually remembered that you worked for Apple *right after* we made the order. We were kicking ourselves thinking we should have found out if you got an employee discount. 🙂
