01/07/2003 Entry: "a growing addiction"
I used Apple Computers when I was first learning my way around a computer. My parents bought an Apple II+, which at the time was such a novelty that it warranted a show-and-tell at my brother's grade school. Later we went on to an Apple IIGS.
But, after that it was all PCs.
Today I spent almost an hour watching the MacWorld keynote address, and I've begun to be drawn in again. A brand new browser claiming speeds 40% faster than IE, an affordable PowerBook were the most interesting announcements. And I think I've started to understand the zealotry of Mac users, especially with the slickness of OS X and the way hardware just works, without the headaches of PCs (like the 4 hours it took to get a simple wireless network up last night).
