I think I'll just go with that last option... since they so kindly offer that 18 months of special financing. I mean, that's why it's there, right? RIGHT.
In all seriousness, thank you!! I'll go with the poor girl option you posted first. As you mentioned, it's all going to be great coming from my six year old machine and jacked up external monitor. Damien will be SO happy when I have that fixed. Haha!!
I'll go to Crucial after it's here. I'll buy Apple Care. Your advice will be followed! It's always very much appreciated! I'll post in the other section for my questions about external drives so that others can see/find it. THANK YOU!!! (or not) I thought there was a "general" section. So, any advice on an external system? I'd like something that is a one and done, if possible. Imports and back up to the other drive(s) automatically. I have seen them but I know nothing about them. So, I don't want to make a bad decision.
