My First Mac
Posted by Charley under: Life; Tech and design .
I remember receiving a portable boom box for Christmas when I was six. It was bright red with blue speakers and a yellow handle. The front read ‘My First Sony’ in white. Even though dad’s big stereo in the living room sounded better, my little red one seemed more fun. The buttons were all big and it came with a cheapo mic for quick recording. It was simpler.
As of two weeks ago I became a Mac user. I’m starting to realize this machine really works for both basic and advanced users. The OS provides tools that my grandparents, my engineering buds and everyone in between would enjoy thoroughly. It’s just simpler.
Here’s a picture I took of myself and Greg Hine while showing off Photo Booth.

My iPod has kicked the bucket and–no joke–I am considering a Zune.

My friend Simon reports on his life as a Mac user. It’s an interesting comparison to using a PC:

What happened to my old post about the Zune??

Congrats!
Enjoy all the stress free days you will have ahead.
Played around with GarageBand yet? Not as cool as Rock Band, so I hear.

Way to go Gordo, welcome to land of awesome! I’m really not that big of a Mac fanboy, but I do dig their computers. After I bought my G5 my diabetes was cured ; )

Does your new mac allow you to publish new posts on your webpage?
