I want an iMac.
It’s simple. I do. Now I’m not knocking the PC, I do love it. Especially now I have the eVGA 7950GX2 in it. My games are wonderful and it’s a pleasure to use for day to day computing bits. Downloading Torrents, browsing the web, email, watching video, games (as mentioned). But that’s where my problems start. I’m a web designer. Well; technically I’m a ‘Graphic Designer / Web Developer’ but I like the Web bit. And Web design on a Windows platform is a big pile of wankness. Maybe it’s just me. But I need BBEdit and Transmit in order to design web pages. I’ve tried every text editor under the sun and nothing works for me but BBEdit. And FTP clients on Windows are, quite simply put, crap.
OS X, BBEdit, Transmit and Photoshop. That’s what I need. And to do that I need a Mac. Panic make Mac software, as do Bare Bones. Emulation is pointless and all my current attempts of setting up OSx86 and a Hackintosh have been ruthlessly foiled. Leaving me so desperate I’m actually researching loans for £1,000 and Credit Card rates (inc. 0% interest offers). Hell I’ve even considered Apple’s own Finance offer on the Applestore!
That’s what it boils down to really. A catch 22 based on money. I want to do Freelance web design; both for fun and for money. But to do that I need a Mac, but to buy the Mac I need to do the websites so I get paid and can afford it. iWant iNeed iCan’t. It’s a cruel world. I feel that dejected I’ve blogged about my lack of money. Isn’t that delightful?
So I’m off to choose 6 numbers between 1 and 49. If anyone wants to give me £1,000. Either gift or extended loan until I get enough jobs under my belt to repay, please do get in touch. No, really, you want to. iWant uTo 
Go on: make Ben happy.

As much as I would love to make you happy, it wouldn’t exactly count as a free website.
Besides, I’m just as broke as you

I could understand you wanting an iMac because you need it for what you want to do, but I have to say I despise those things and I don’t know how anyone without a specific need for one would favor it over a PC.
