14. i just bought myself a new laptop.

graphic designer.
dont get the air. it doesnt have the juice. i got the best one they had, the one with the invdia graphics card, 16g ddr3, 2.3g intel i7

remember that every time she processes something that she just did, it takes time. if it takes any longer than it takes her to get to the next task after she hits that key, that is wasted time. that adds up over the course of a project. even at 10 minutes a day, thats over an hour by the end of a week. that is the way a pro looks at their tools.

i spent $3k.

if you really want to be the magic fairy godmother, you might grab her a time machine, too. i know we can all put our stuff on the cloud, but i still like to have it on my desk.
there are cheaper back up drives out there, tho.

i like my macs, but once upon a time i was pc, and always bleeding edge. my mac is better, but there are some pretty good pc's out there these days for a whooooole lot less money.
look at the specs.

to you mom. you deserve a present, too. you should buy yourself something, too.
