It's time for this short sale agent to change again. It's difficult to embrace change but to stay ahead of the competition, we need to do it. It's time to say goodbye to my Mac Pro and Leopard OS and hello to my new Mac Pro and Lion OS X. I can't believe I let Snow Leopard sneak in there on my laptop.
It was only 4 years ago that I bought my previous Mac Pro desktop. It had a 232 GB hard drive. I thought that would last me forever. Ha. What a joke. I have used about 85% of it. My computer would no longer do a restart without a shut down first. Plus, I was two operating systems behind. As a result, it just made sense to pop for a new computer.
Besides, buying an Apple product is so much fun. Those sneaky Apple people, making shopping a joy. Those guys are brilliant.
I upgraded the memory to twice what I think I might need. Also, doubled the hard drive from 1 TB to 2 TB. The difference in disk space will probably be laughable a few years from now, but at the moment, it's really significant. I've got a 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core, which is super fast.
Will all of this make me a better Sacramento short sale agent? Probably not. But it will make me much happier. I love efficiency. Although, it may take me months to figure out everything this computer can do. If you have tips, I'd love to hear them.
