It’s finally happened. The guy who said he would never get a Mac just ordered one. Don’t get me wrong, I think Apple products (aka my iPod) are amazing…but I’ve just been used to the PC for a really long time now. I’ve been making websites since I was eight years old and a person just gets comfortable. But what happened all of a sudden? What made me leave the PC? I’m just tired of viruses-crashing-unexplainable-uncertainty-failure-to-keep-up. Currently my “portable” laptop crashes whenever I move it. That’s really great/convenient (sarcastic). But what has really pushed me in my decision is this: all my friends seem to be so happy with their Macs and I never hear them complaining. And I really don’t want to be a person who complains about their computer. So to alleviate the situation…my new computer is on the way…but that’s not all.

Did you know you can customize your Mac at Apple.com? Well…that’s exactly what I did. I thought to myself, “what if I had an insanely fast computer?” I basically selected all the best options related to speed/size (despite everyone advising me against that). They told me, “You’ll never need that much.” Then I said, “Who decides what I need but me?” Ya burnt!

Fun fact: my first computer was actually a Mac. This is like ages ago when computers first came out. I’m not sure how/why we switched over to the PC…but it’s what I’ve been using basically ever since…now.

I’m totally setting my expectations really high just because I am one of those PC–>Mac switchers. I don’t know what to feel. I have a feeling that all the extra stuff (dollars) will give me exactly what I need (it better). OMG, look at me I’m turning into one of those Apple people. The only thing missing is an iPhone…and I will not leave Verizon just for a phone…not to mention…my new Verizon LG enV Touch phone is actually my best iPhone wannabe to date. It literally does everything I need. I get easy email, visual voicemail (I knew Verizon would catch up), and it just has that cool/flowy feel of the iPhone. Well done, LG.

It will be here next week. Even though I’ll miss window controls on the right side of the screen and the easier right-click…I’m excited.
