It didn’t seem as if the employees at the Apple Store noticed me kissing the G5 tower over in the corner. If they did, they didn’t care! Maybe they see that a lot…
I saw one or two customers looking over at me as I drooled over the Mac Pro but they quickly went back to their internet surfing on their Mac Books.
I went straight over to the biggest system they had, but because I was so into getting the shot - I didn’t even read the specs on the huge monitor. I stand corrected - it must have been a 30″!! hahaha I was hurriedly re-writing the lyrics to James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful”, looked at the Apple website, and mistook the 24″ iMac for their biggest display.
ooops Well that’s how you know that Apple didn’t put me up to this, or else I would have gotten that little factoid right! Anyhoo - anything that is bigger than this little 12″ I’m using seems HUMOUNGOUS to me - whether it be 24″ or 30″. They’re all fabulously impossible giants!
Some have been asking where I got the sheet music from. I paid for and downloaded a copy from www.sheetmusicdirect.com. From there I played a very basic version just using the chords. I recorded myself from the two angles, extracted the audio from the head on angle - and just kept trying to match up the side view as close as possible.
So much email is coming in - that very soon, I plan to do a vlog answering some of your questions. Thanks for all your feedback, it is very much appreciated!
Here are the lyrics for my version of that song “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt. You will see that I only made minor changes -and many of his words I kept.
My Mac is brilliant. 12″ Powerbook
But I went to the Apple Store just to take a look
I mean I love my little G4
It’s done so good I say
But I saw the big Mac Pro and the 24 inch display
You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful it’s true
The interface is such pretty taste
And I don’t know what to do
Cause I’ll never be with you
Yes it caught my eye
and I can’t help but sigh
I could see that this processor would just fly
And I don’t think that I’ll see it again
But we shared a moment that would last til the end
You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful it’s true
The interface is such pretty taste
And I don’t know what to do
Cause I’ll never be with you
