Today, my computer screen displayed a revolutionary sight:
Yes, it’s true. I have ordered a Mac. In fact, I have ordered this MacBook:
Upon hearing the news, a friend of mine (yes, I have friends!) — a previous Mac convert for school-based reasons — texted me her happiness: “Thanks for crossing over to the other side. It feels better over here. Welcome.”
My primary reason for the change is my photography. Little by little, I am beginning to move into a more serious pursuit of the business of photography, and let’s be honest: Macs are teh r0x0rs for the creative side of life. So I took that excuse, paired it with my credit card (wait, I have to pay that bill? I thought it was just a suggestion) and bought the Little Machine of Style and Practicality. It’ll be here in a week or two.
There is a bit of adventure in this purchase: my experience with Macs is limited to a total of roughly five minutes, split between a display model in Best Buy and my friend’s Mac in my own home. But sometimes I think I communicate better with computers than I do with people, so I’m looking forward to finding my way around the OS.
When it arrives, I will post my thoughts here. And, of course, those thoughts will be written on a Mac.
Hey, I saw you commented on Ken Buck’s Xanga, I originally wrote the thing about Vista. Welcome to the Apple world, I promise you won’t be disappointed at all.
I have learned several important things via your post. I will also like to state that there can be situation where you will have a loan and do not need a co-signer such as a U.S. Student Support Loan. When you are getting that loan through a conventional banker then you need to be ready to have a co-signer ready to enable you to. The lenders will base any decision on the few elements but the most significant will be your credit ratings. There are some loan companies that will additionally look at your work history and determine based on this but in most cases it will hinge on your scores.
