Apple - Get a Mac
If you know me, you know I'm a Mac user. I used an Apple II in high school. I used a Mac at Roberts Wesleyan College where I used PageMaker 1.0 to do the school newspaper. I was a graphic artist at the Scotsman Press in Syracuse when they first got some Macs and I was the only in the building who knew how to use them. The first one I bought was a Centris 610 with a LaswerWriter NTR. My first church I served bought a Performa 6300CD with a LaserWriter 400. Then I was given a Performa 6260, bought a used PowerBook 100, then received the donation of a PowerBook G3 WallStreet edition, a friend gave me an iMac revA, another friend gave me a DuoDoc system and I received a couple other gifts of monitors and cpu's. Eventually I bought an eMac and received the huge donation of 4 iMac's and 6 Mac G3's. I have 23 Mac's, 3 LaserWriters, a Newton, 3 QuickTakes, several monitors and some other stuff. You get it. I like Macs. I used to be really rabid about the whole thing poking fun at PC users, debating the merits of the Mac OS, reading all the latest Mac gossip and rumors, etc. I'm over that now. But I never owned a PC. I occasionally helped my dad with his and helped people in the computer lab at North Park but never really used one on a day in day out basis. My company recently sent me a Compaq laptop. I've used it for a couple weeks now. I'm used to being a power-user and now I feel like an absolute idiot. Never in my life have I had to find the right "driver" or seen a C-prompt (C:...) or had to do so much configuring to get stuff to work. On the other hand, web browsing is a little faster. In general, PC computing is not fun. If you never had one, show yourself some love and Get a Mac. |
