I categorized this post as "romance" because I'm in love with my new computer. I love the way it looks. I love the way the keyboard feels. I love how it performs. I love it. Love love love it. That's why I haven't been blogging. I've been making out with my new iMac. Honestly, is there anything better than a new computer? I think not.
