Got Some Apples

Published by John under Our Blog

OK, along time ago I got a computer. Later on I got Windows 3.11. I started using Microsoft Windows in 1992. Windows was much better than DOS and was really good. Then, I got windows 95, NT 4.0, 98 SE, XP, and finally Vista. I used Vista for about 8 months and decided to look at other OS options because it was so poorly built. I look at Linux but I felt it was too much on the fringe for a home computer. I then, thought about Apple.

When the iPod first came out I thought it was a fad. I was still using MiniDisc. Later, I started running and got a first gen iPod shuffle. I really like it and how well it worked. Later, I got a iPod Nano and was blown away at the OS. The user interaction was impressive. When I saw the iPhone in the Spring of 2007 I was amazed. I knew, I had to dump my Windows Mobile 5.0 phone and get one. Well, in November I got an iPhone. I have been amazed by it ever since, best phone I have ever used or owned!

Which brings me to my conclusion.

If Apple can do what they do with a phone, how good can their computers be..

Well, I looked at Leopard, got a hacked .iso and tried installing it on my Toshiba. That was a total failure. I had to reinstall vista and start over. I did not lose my files, they are backup. Once I accpeted the path I was headed down, I embraced it. I sold my Windows Vista laptop in eBay to a guy in NJ. Then I bought a refurbished MacBook Pro from Apple and some software to go along with it.

I have been using the MacBook Pro for about 2 weeks now I am very happy. It took some time getting used to. The file structure is different and there is lack of configuration options. Because its our home computer I can live with this. It boot in 30 secs, unlike Vista taking 2:30 min to boot. Everything works the way it should and no worry about install drivers for everything. You just plug things in and they work.

I am glad I switched, but if you tried to get me to switch 6 month ago I would have turned you down. So, below is a picture of my Apples.

For some crazy reason, in the evening between 4-9pm there are bunny rabbits in the parks in this area. I have seen bunnies at several different parks in Orange County. These were pictures take by Laguna Beach. Last night I saw some over by my apartment in Aliso Viejo. One time I about 20 bunnies sitting on a grassy hill side. Its like a scene from Watership Down.
