Had to get the wheels, too.

There’s a new American Express card out named the AMEX Plutonium, and of course they sent me one. It’s a sweet deal and there’s no charge for the radioactivity, which decays quickly. There’s no credit limit and if you spend $1mm a year they waive the annual $50k fee. And the interest rate is only 10% a month, which beats the local Mob’s.
Well, says, I, better get with the action and earn that freebie, so I decided to splash out on the new Mac Pro. Yup, it’s butt ugly, but I have a mechanic who will gut one of my spare regular Mac Pros and install the hardware inside that elegant box. And he’s only charging $5k to do the work! Too bad he doesn’t take AMEX.
Anyway, to jolly things along I decided to max out the new MP’s specs, so here’s what I ended up with:
Had to get the Apple monitor – it’s only twice the price of the identical Dell. Loaded her up with 768GB of memory at only 3x the market rate, a snip at $10k.
The stand is only $1,000 more. Had to have it.
Ugly as sin, so I’m having it rehoused.
Forget the stock legs. I’m going with the rollers for a mere $400 more.
I hope it arrives soon as it should allow me to email and play Pong much faster. I also charged a new Rolls and a Bentley on the Plutonium – a man needs variety – so now I am well on the way to the free annual fee. I’m going to show the new Roller at local shows with the new Mac Pro in the passenger seat.
