I bought a $3000 iMac as I believed I was starting up a photography business and needed the best equipment to edit on. First, I already had a MacBook Pro which could do the job nicely and second, although I had done two photography units at university, I was in no way skilled enough (and well enough) to start a photography business.

Now I hardly use my iMac as I tend to do my surfing and working on my couch, rather than in my study where the iMac is. I even got business registration and spend about $200 on that too. Now I plan to be a writer so I switched my major from photography to writing. Writing better suits my lifestyle as I am physically limited by Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. It works better with the mental illnesses too. I can write articles, books, websites etc when I feel up to it, of course while meeting deadlines.

Sorry, got a bit carried away there. I really need to start using my iMac it is HUGE an awesome.
