You've got to admit, you do decide this pretty randomly, though. I mean, I'm assuming you don't have separate fridges, ovens, dishes, and couches. So you're definitely willing to share some things, but not others. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying it's a bit simplistic to say the reason you have two computers is because you're not married. It would be a bit more accurate to say you have two computers because you each like having your own computer; I don't really expect you'd change that whether you were married or not. :^)

Hmm.. agree with some points. However, there is no joint income. We rent, so the fridge, sofa, oven all come with the place. We went halves on a kettle. I dunno...
I bought my (ex)girlfriend a macbook last year for Christmas. She as absolutely shocked. It was cool. 6 months later she accuses me of cheating on her, which I did not do, and then gave it back! Worked out for me in the long run. She was nutso
Haha, it's cool, I'm just being nitpicky. Cheers to y'all :^)

Yikes. At least you got it back, though. And it sounds like things worked out for the best.
She's not your average girl. She doesn't have handbags herself.
If she hates it, oh well.
My girlfriend would love it if I bought her and iMac for crimbo. As it is she is getting an expensive purse and probably getting my old core 2 duo (white) iMac.
Me and my b/f both have an iMac each. I have the 24" he has the 20". We live in a very small flat which only 2 rooms. I use mine for uni work (Flash, Photoshop ect) he just uses his for Football manager and internet. It would be a nightmare if we had to share one.
It's also for people with 30" ACDs who have been waiting for the new Mac Pro since well before Labor Day.
...and porn, of course. For that reason alone, seems to me that he should have the 24.
I want to hear from the OP about how she reacted to her present. I hope he recorded the event with a camcorder.
My girlfriend, whom I live with is getting a 24" iMac for xmas! I'm so excited. I ordered it 2 months to the DAY I ordered mine.
Man I'm giddy..
I just ordered her 4gb of Mushkin memory from newegg for 107.99 shipped w/ a 20 dollar Mail in Rebate, making 4GB of ram 88 dollars!
Hey, hope I don't buzz into your business, but, why does she need 4 gigs of ram, does she do a lot of multitasking?
No, but again for 100 bucks does it matter? Nope. Do you do anything that requires the speed that computers run at to it's full capacity? Why not run a 400MHz computer then?
i do video editing in imovie HD, and am upgrading to final cut express, also, for dual booting into windows in the future, games, photoshop, web design, and overall performance.
