To acknowledge and value your fans by being well prepared is thoughtful, I know, I know but to simultaneously honour your muse demonstrates generosity and humility as well.What can I say, I know. I understand that in England it can be considered conceited to quote oneself, they do it all the time aboard Scrivener but in this instance I think my earlier words are the perfect expression of my admiration: I know that’s why I left it un annotated

Ouch. Pull your claws in.

Done (see detailed discussion above).

Now, back to the task at hand…

I was thinking more along the lines of Marcel Duchamp, Damien Hirst or Tracey Emin but I can see that you are already well ahead of me. To make the conceptual leap to Caravaggio and then on to Romanticism - who else could have made such connections?

Imagine if there were more minds like vic-k’s in our Art academies…

Society’s philistine element probably considers them to be art.

If you have a desktop computer, then an Air is all you need. But maybe you should consider the 11" model. I have a 2009 13" Air, which is great, but it spends 90% of its existence plugged into my 24" external display. So I’m considering downsizing to the 11" model whenever I can sell this one. It’s great to have the 13" screen when I’m on the road and writing stories on assignment, but that’s now a relatively small part of my writing. If you’re primarily going to be using the Air for taking notes at the library or in class, then I’d imagine the 11" would be all you need, and easier to tote around campus. If you’re actually drafting articles using Scrivener on the Air pretty often during those long breaks, though, then I guess the 13" is preferable. The $100 price difference between the 128GB 11" and 128GB 13" is probably negligible. It really comes down to whether lighter weight or more screen space is more important to you in your actual daily usage.

Based on what everyone has said, I think I’m leaning towards the 13 inch macbook air. I have a desktop computer that I have all of my pictures on. Portability is the most important thing to me. I have quite a long break between two of my classes, and I’m hoping to get some work done in the library during that time. I have approximately five billion papers to write this semester, so word processing is the most important thing to me.

The MBA’s look so pretty. This is my gift to myself to help me get through my freaking required public speaking class. I deserve this
