Electra

I am reporting from Electra, not the star, but my newly christened computer. I think that's what I'm naming my new super computer. I have an explanation. I went to see Amelia, not Amelie, but Amelia, the biopic about Amelia Earhart, while the Geek Squad optimized my computer. The Lockheed Electra was Amelia's airplane of choice, suitable for flying around the world. It was silver, sleek, powerful and built for adventure, just like my Sony Vaio. I can't pretend my Vaio is a MacBook Pro, but why compare apples and oranges? I think there is a hidden pun there. : ) It is fabulous and it just burned a CD with nearly 5 hours of audio in about 2 blinks. I won't bore you with the technical details of its fabulousness, but just know that it is as powerful as it is beautiful.

My new Visual Audio Intelligence Organiser machine is very pretty, which is key. I've shopped for a new computer for awhile now and I could not bring myself to buy anything that did not have a certain streamlined, modern aesthetic. Most computers are not pretty. I suppose the Dell Adamo is comparable, but that's priced nearly twice what I paid for Electra. If you are going to spend the money on an Adamo, then you might as well get a MacBook Pro. This picture does not do her justice. (See the website link for better pictures) Yes, I've decided Electra is probably a she.
