Another One Buys A Mac

Well, after over two years, I finally will be getting the iBook that I have lusted over since I was a senior in high school. Today I placed my order for an iBook G3/800, 14.1 " screen, 40 GB, 640 MB RAM, combo drive. It's truly a beautiful machine; I went and checked out the low end 12" model yesterday at a local electronics store, and even that model impressed me. I knew then that I was making a great choice.

I had planned to get an iBook with my graduation cash back in '01, but I had only amassed $800, about $400 short of the then entry level iBook price of $1200. I had to buy what the money could get me- an HP. In the long run, I am glad this happened- I was transformed from naive 18 year-old Mac elitist to one who respects both operating systems. Besides, if I had gotten that iBook back then, I would never have found AS!

I am just the latest member of AS to succumb to the charm of the Mac....Apple should be grateful for this community! Every month, I see at least one person posting that they are buying a Mac. AS is truly a gateway to the Mac world for PC users.

Sorry for the life story/rant. Just a bit excited. Talk to you all soon.

I think we should head over to Spymac and create a thread in which we let them know how many people actually switch by trying to imitate the X look. Why Spymac? Becuase seem to be angered the most by our toils.

By the way, if you need any help in OS X (other than the Unix aspect ), feel free to ask

Kick ass! I'm happy for ya! I know how excited you must be to get your iBook. I'm still waiting for the day I can get mine. It seems like every other time I go to the mall, I make my way down to CompUSA and marvel at the iMacs and iBooks. So, does this mean you'll stop skinning Windows and concentrate on doing things on your new Apple?

hey godpunk once you get the ibook take a picture so we can see what it looks like on your desktop.

hmmm... let me dig up mine too. Yeh, I know, most of you have seen it already. But nothing wrong with a lil' advertisement . For Apple that is <_<. They better be goddamn greatful for all the switchers A-S has produced.

So here it is:

These are the computers that are in my room. There's a PC downstairs too.
