I do realise that the 'wasn't' is breaking the logic, but there just weren't enough negatives in that sentence so I had to add it. I guess I could have looked for a place to add another negative to fix it. I don't know what you mean by 'in the first place', you are making it out that spending $7,000 on a computer is a bad thing... oh wait, it kinda is. I guess I am lucky, but then again I did work for quite a few months over the first half of the year. All for this. Reasoning (to make myself feel better): My current computer is nearly 4 years old and I work in the computer industry. My current computer isn't well (few niggles.) I've missed out on a lot of PC games over the last decade. Big screens make you more productive (Pfeiffer consulting <a href="http://www.pfeifferreport.com/Cin_Disp30_Bench_Rep.pdf" rel="nofollow">says</a> <a href="http://images.apple.com/displays/pdf/cinemadisplay30report.pdf" rel="nofollow">so</a>) I've completely used my current computer in almost any and all ways imaginable and I believe it's starting to slow me down. Two computers will be great. It will be great having a computer serving files everywhere. Anyway, I still feel like I've done the wrong thing, but hopefully that will pass. Very true, it is irony.

Irony, at best. And you made a mistake: "...modules while I wasn’t at it..." That sounds like a mean machine. And hey, count yourself lucky you had $7000 to blow on a new mac in the first place. I've only managed to earn myself $200 USD. That’s not sarcasm. Irony, at best. And you made a mistake: “…modules while I wasn’t at it…”
