So I’m in a training class this week learning High Speed Internet Technical Support and obviously there are going to be people out there that have all kinds of operating systems. One of them obviously being Mac OS. Today was Mac day. They have two brand spanking new iMacs which to be honest are pretty fraking sweet. I don’t use a Mac, not really around anyone who does, and haven’t used one in about 6 years. So when I pull up to this thing I was pretty impressed. First thoughts, it’s just a thick LCD panel; that’s it. They took the iMac which used to look like a 17 inch tv that came straight out of Candy Land and slammed it into a 2 inch display; kick ass. Now I’ve seen Mac OS X before and “played” with it but l was still amazed.
Now I wouldn’t mind owning a MacBook, but it raises lots of questions, mostly illegal ones, but I am due for a new laptop. When the time comes I’ll look a bit deeper into the dark side. Perhaps find someone who owns one and do some of my daily activities with it. For now I’ll stick with my virus prone, spreadsheet murderin, suit and tie PC.

I have been looking into a macbook or iBook for a few months now, but I fall into the same boat as you … I don’t know anyone who owns one. The nearest Apple store is in Chicago, so I don’t get to play around with one. It sounds intriguing, to be sure.
I own one and a user of a windows pc for going on 15 years i know that i will never go back to windows. ever. again. cheers.
