Apple Computers

Since I started this class I realized that I would need an Apple, I wasn't required to buy one at the time I joined the program, but I found out quickly that it would make my homework easier, and that I would more than likely need one later for my career. So I started looking. But the way the economy is right now is seriously effecting my budget and I don't have any extra money to throw $2000 at a new computer and software, and unfortunately, neither do my parents. So I'm in a bind. I'm hoping that once the elections are finished that we will see a bounce back and that $11,000 I lost over the last few weeks in the stock market will come back a bit. But I don't feel I could wait until November or later for that to happen. Not for this class at least. My dad says we may be able to defer payments for six or twelve months if the guy he buys computers from can work with him, then I wouldn't have a problem, or if my dad gets a funeral, or if he gets a settlement from a funeral home he own 25% of that is closing in Sioux Falls. There are so many factors to my getting a computer it stresses me out. Now, if Apple comes out with a computer that is under $1000, my problems wouldn't be solved, but that's much more manageable. Although, they aren't sure that's what it is, or what kind of computer it will be. If it's just a computer for surfing the Internet, that's no help to me. I think I'll hold out for the economy to come back a bit so that I can get a professional grade computer for around $1700, and buy the software at the bookstore. At least one good thing came of this... I know exactly how much I've lost in stocks, and really how poor I truly am. That isn't good, that's depressing.
