ATTN: Mac People!
September 10 2006
Alright Mac users, I have a couple of questions for y'all...
1.) Is the oober expensive extended warranty really worth the money?
2.) Do I need to buy a modem if I am going to use wireless Internet? Or something else perhaps, like a wireless adapter or something?
Also, do y'all have any extra advice for purchasing a Mac? I'm thinking I might get it this week. Here are the specs of the MacBookPro that I am interested in: 15.4 inch screen with 2.16 GHz, 1 GB, and a bunch of other stuff that I don't really know much about, honestly... ha ha. I'm also thinking about asking them to ship with Final Cut Pro Express pre-installed on there for me. Is that a good idea? It would make my life easier for sure...
And thanks to my collegiate standing, I would save a couple hundred bucks! Whoo hoo! This is all a little scary for me... I have never spent this much money at once by myself for one thing. Or more than one thing for that matter.. ha ha... I don't want to mess this up, because this is about $2500 we're talking about here, and I don't take that lightly! I know I'm really blessed to even have that money to spend and I don't want to casually throw it away. I do, however, feel very confident that video production is something that God has called me to, and this would be a great investment, and I could also start using it this semester for the two video projects I have for class. And that's a pretty exciting thought!
Lastly: Congratulations Matt and Bethany!

i happen to think that the extended warranty is worth it just bc not many ppl know enough about macs to fix them if something goes wrong...not to mention the money you'd save if you have the warranty and u have to get something fixed (bc just like they're expensive to buy, they're expensive to fix) however at the same time macs have a better history of not messing up...but i went ahead and got the extra warranty bc i'd rather be safe than sorry...and the only reason you'd need to buy a modem is if you're gonna be using dial up internet...everything for wireless is already in the computer....and my final advice...if you have lots of questions about everything that comes on the computer...my advice would be to go to the apple store to buy it...that way they'd be able to answer any and all questions you have about the computer (that's what rach and i did and i'm glad we did that instead of it ordering it on the internet)
