iMacs are basically laptops built into a display. You're paying a premium price for the laptop parts, but not really getting desktop performance apart from display size. I used to own a desktop Mac (one of the last tower-case Mac Pros), but when I went to get myself a new desktop computer a few years ago I built a linux box around PC parts* instead of buying another Mac. I just could not justify the premium price. Also, Apple seemed (and still seems) to be ignoring/abandoning the high-performance desktop market, even to the extent of bringing a lot of iOS (phone) bits to the desktop. I'm not a fan of dumbing-down the desktop like that, though other people seem to be ok with it. That said, my laptop is an older macbook air, which I love. Email, web (incl. animeforums ), spreadsheets, powerpoints, etc. all do fine. I'm typing this on my laptop. Nothing wrong with laptops. I even bought a new macbook for my Mom a couple months ago for her birthday. For everything except high-performance uses a laptop is great. (When I say "high performance" I mean mainly games. Though there's a lot of games that you CAN play on a Mac, there's a lot of titles that are PC-only, and you probably would not be happy playing many cutting-edge FPS games even if they are available. I have played both Minecraft and Kerbal Space Program on my macbook for example. They work, but only barely IMHO. I wouldn't recommend the experience. The newer iMacs have finally gotten a GPU bump with Radeon/Vega and can do a lot better than my old laptop, but that doesn't change the fact that they're still basically using laptop parts. They're way behind in what you could do for the same price in PC-land in terms of desktop computers, even at similar quality levels.) Bottom line.. if you're not a "computer person" and just want something that works out of the box to get typical computer work done then an iMac is fine. If the price doesn't bother you and you don't need to play the latest-and-greatest games then you'll be happy. (*990FX chipset motherboard, FX8370 CPU, 32GB RAM, Radeon RX480 GPU for only about $1k. Of course I had to build, install, and configure everything myself for that price so that doesn't include the cost of research, labor, integration, or mental anguish. YMMV.)

Thanks! i really like anime like Tokyo Ghoul or Death Note

I recently enacted a plan to deal with that. Unfortunately my numbers didn't come up. That's the last time I use that Quick Picks generator!

I'm not giving any straight up ideas (although i have some, i plan to use them to write my own stories eventually) however, when thinking of writing any type of story i would think about your favorite genre first (ex. drama) .. once you have that think of your favorite story/ movie/ book/ anime that was part of that genre. Watch/ read it again and figure out what drew you to it and try to incorporate that into what you write. Maybe it was an eerie feeling or a happy ending or a bit of romance or the snappiness of the dialogue, something that made the story feel complete. Then twist that idea as much as possible... make it as unique to yourself as you can so you can call it your own.... brainstorming characters is easier when you take traits from people in your life (ex. my bestfriend has short black hair and doesn't care what people think of her) and combat that with a character that has the traits of someone else you know who is somewhat of a polar opposite (ex. a friend of mine with long blonde hair who adheres to social standards) . Hope this helps. Good luck

Survey says....................Yes, we'll allow it. Regardless of how you met, if you're physically hanging out with them, they count.

It sure would be nice if autopay ment you did not need to pay.

I would say it dose count as where you met someone dose not really matter rather what matters is your current relationship whatever that may be.

Hey Sleepy, It has been a while; just wondering where you are, we miss you around here girl. Anyway, whatever you are doing I hope you are having a good time.
