My beloved iMac of 3+ years just died and was beyond repair. Luckily, I have 2 seperate backups + Time Machine so I didn't lost any data. I've learned my lesson many times over.
In the meantime, before a new computer is in question, I decided to upgrade my macbook so it won't feel like a huge downgrade.
120GB SSD in the optical drive
750GB HDD 7200rpm
8GB ram
I already have a Cintiq 21UX that I use for a monitor and drawing tablet. This is my new setup!
*Update: RIP Steve Jobs.
