From "Blogging Circle of Friends " :

What is your most prized possession?

Part of me is tempted to say my car, after living without one for the better part of a week. (I get my dad's old car for a loaner this evening, thank goodness!) But honestly, while I've come to appreciate how much I need it, my car still isn't my most prized possession. I think that honor would go to my Macbook Pro.

For most of my life, I was an IBM/Windows user. When I got an iPad back in 2009, I became enamored with Apple projects, especially due to the fact that I love Pages, a popular word processing program for Apple products. It makes Word and even open OpenOffice look clunky by comparison. (Granted, it doesn't take much to make Word look clunky.)

When a past relationship went nuclear and fouled up my life in general and I finally decided to therapy for my codependency issues in early 2010, I decided to reward myself by getting a Macbook Pro. I figured it would give me the ability to work on my writing more, which was something I was trying to get back into. Between that and giving me easy Internet access that is far less susceptible to viruses and other attacks than a Windows machine, it's one of my most useful possessions, which makes it quite prized to me indeed.
