Hello world! That is, Apple world. I am now officially baptized into Tim Cook's world as an official MacBook owner. After years of PCs/Windows giving me problems and constant reformatting, I decided to say "Screw this!" and do something about it. So now am I going to join the SJP cult and bring my lovely uni-body aluminum enclosure to pretentious coffee shops and ponder relationship questions? Am I now going to write the next New York Times Best Seller from my own 13-inch personal space of keys? I don't know the answers to these questions, but I do know that I am satisfy the unending itch in me to write, and to write well by practice, practice, practice. It's been a long time since blogging something substantial. This is all because PC problems and lack of motivation. Who knew motivation comes from this (beautiful) work of art.
I love my new toy. I'm like a little kid all over again. A MacBook will give the user an entirely different experience than any Windows laptop or Windows OS can. I am a believer now! It's just not my iPod, I'm a fan! I get it! I have joined the Apple cult! BTW, where is the 'end' or 'home' button on this beautifully crafted, illuminated keyboard?
I'm guarding as if no one can touch it (yet), and as durable as it's built, it will be babied and cradled as if it was made out of cotton. Oh boy, I think I have started a small love affair with a piece of aluminum.
The purchasing experience was a short-lived one.
Me: [to Apple sales guy] I want to purchase a MacBook
Him: Blah, blah, blah... something something RAM... blah blah Graphics card ..."
Joaquin: "Is it compatible with .... something something something"
Him: More helpful blah blahs
Me: [Impatiently] Ok. I want it.
My boyfriend, a closet geek who knows his PC hardware inside out, even marvels at the talent Apple has recruited. Maybe he secretly wants a Mac while currently browsing a Nasa computer to compete with my new toy. Maybe he has a techie itch to buy a new computer or he is prepping up to play Diablo 3 with me when it comes out in June. So I turn to him and say "Why don't you just buy an Apple?".
