Tomorrow I'm bringing home my first ever Apple product (apart from downloading iTunes) - a 24" 2.66Ghz 4GB 640GB iMac! (Yes, I waited for the upgrade) To be honest, I've never really been a big fan of Macs, they never seemed so much better than a PC to warrant the price difference. To me they didn't seem to work 'better', just 'differently.' I also resent the way Apple has turned electronics and computers into fetish items. But I digress.
I'm getting an iMac for really one reason - to learn a new skill. I'm pretty comfortable navigating the Windows OS by now and I figure if I'm going to be taken seriously as someone who can work a computer slightly better than your average Josephine, I'm going to need to work a Mac. Not that anyone really works a Mac, the Mac works them and lets them think they're working it. But I digress again, as you can see I've got some Mac issues I'm going to have to work on if I'm going to avoid tears.
It should be interesting to see the way my blog changes when I get a Mac, whether I find it easier or harder. I might even buy a domain name and download WordPress, so I can have greater control over the aesthetics of it. Macs are good at aesthetics, right? That's what Justin Long told me anyway.
I'll keep you posted on how I travel along the road to coolness.
