ARGHHHHH!!!

I am trying to come to terms with my past.... I used to slag off a Mac with a smile on my face. Now I have to admit having my first mac has been a bit of an experience so far.

It began with the delivery guy turning up and a slight tremor of excitement began to flutter in my tummy. The dull brown box gives way to a shiny white box, with a nice picture on the front... I open the box and start to unload the contents, everything seems so sexy. It is all nicely wrapped and well placed. It looks so fantastic. Almost like you would expect a posh shop to wrap up that very expensive piece of lingerie you bought for your wife.

It smells good, it looks good, it feels great.... Then you switch it on and you kind of stare at it blankly for a few minutes... What do I do now? How does it work? Why has windows not annoyed me yet? Ah, no windows! You do a little dance in anticipation of a life filled without random driver conflicts and the blue screen of death.

You install iworks, you load up pages. You start to cry.... You can't see anything in the little text box you created and typed in to. How does this work? I have used word for almost 15 years, it is like going back to school! I still haven't figured that bit out yet....

You open the mail client, it asks for your email address. You put it it expecting it to go mental at your hotmail account... Why wouldn't it? I do after all. It loads up your hotmail account in one smooth go! This can't be correct, is this the world I have been slagging for years on end. I start to feel a bit silly about all the snide remarks.

I understand why people fall in love with their MacBooks. I do. I think I might just have fallen in love with mine, even though she still hasn't surrendered all her secrets to me! Now I must retreat from this overlong and unnecessary blog post.... You see I have work to do, wonders to create and a word processing package to figure out!

On a more serious note, I also have a job interview tomorrow and had better get back to figuring out where I can park near the office I am going to.... Hello iphone.... I feel almost dirty, in a good way!

Cheers all,

Al
