It's been a little while, but I did give you fair warnings when it comes to writing on a consistent basis. So, there will be no complaining today from you. I have nothing specific in mind for today, therefor I shall ramble.
I am a big fan Apple and their products, especially the Ipod and their Mac line. I have had an Ipod of some sort for some time now and I will more than happily argue it's superiority over other media players. It has always had a sleek design, and an amazing interface, and I believe holds the media player market by the balls. The first one I had was the 4Th generation Ipod
which had 20G. It was amazing how easy it was to use and I was extremely happy to have my entire music library on my person. That same year, my joy turned into despair as my Ipod
met the pavement and then turned to embrace a car's tires. It didn't survive and I was heart broken. Within a couple of days, I gave in and got another, this time the mini. Packing the same features only smaller in both size and capacity, I was once again musically satisfied.
Apple being Apple, released the Ipod Nano in the fall of that same year. My thoughts were simple. "It comes in black, has the same capacity, and is smaller? Must buy yesterday." I did this of course and sold the mini. I am still porting around the nano, it being a great mp3 player and that Apple hasn't really improved the line well enough for me to pick up a new one. That is unless you include it's newest beaut, the Iphone. We'll come back to this one in a bit. I'm trying keep the ideas linear.
I continued my path towards Apple products a few months after my Nano purchase when on Feb 14th, 2006 I bought a 17 inch Imac. (Yes it was Valentine's day and some of you may be wondering where was the love. Well the love was pointed at my wonderful GF whose credit made my purchase possible. Imac plus a great woman equals glee.) I have been looking at the macs for some time considering my love of the ipod but noticed that on certain fronts I would be limited. The main issue was gaming. I didn't play a lot of games but I did require a stable system to play World of Warcraft on. My adventures through Azeroth must continue as it was passing a large portion of my time. The G5 versions at the time didn't seem to preform that well so I let that thought wonder. Apple switched it up a bit in Jan of 2006 when it unveiled an Imac with an Intel inside, pardon the pun. Upon WoW becoming playable to this newer platform I made the choice, and soon bought me my Imac. (I was told that I was the first to own an Intel Imac in NL, little trivia for you). Within about a week, my transition from windows and my old PC were complete. I was more than pleased with my new toy, and a decsion was made. I shall never buy a Windows based Computer again. Microsoft be damned I say.
Back to present day. My Imac is still running smooth and my Nano is currently supplying me with musical goodness.
To the future now. Apple threw an un chewable bone at the end of June, called the Iphone. OMFG. I don't think there are acronyms that can express how much I want this product. However, the Iphone came into the public locked down to AT&T. This requires me to wait (at least for the moment) for Apple to spread the love around to the rest of the world. I won't talk too much about it mainly because I think I could go on and on. In time I tell my self, all in good time. Now a couple of weeks ago, Apple gave me more reasons to drool. I thinner, cheaper, and prettier Imac. Now available isn't the issue here because I could order one right now. I have two reason to wait. First, I just don't have the cash hanging around for it at the moment. Since I have also told myself that when I do upgrade that I will go from the 17 inch model I have to a 24 inch version, the previous point is all that more a factor. Second, Leopard. This is what the new version of the Mac's OS X will be called. It's slated as being released in Oct. So I wait till that point so I don't have to buy the new OS later. Must win lottery. Must play lottery to win lottery.
Would I recommend Apple products? Of course. I think I will leave the comments section. No I am not subtly trying to get people to post comments. What do you take me for?
