In a letter to a friend...

I've joined the better side of life. The Mac is amazing.
I woke up this morning and started talking to it and decided to take with me to work so it wouldn't be lonely.
I haven't decided on a name yet, so 'mac-ie' is the filler for now.
Such a fine piece of machinery should never be left alone to allow dust and debris to infiltrate it's delicately designed inner workings.
It is sitting on my desk right now, in all it's white glory.
iLife installed, Apple Protection in place, .Mac activated...
my sales rep shook my hand and said "welcome to the mac world'
and my life, professional and artistic, possibly even spiritual, will never be the same....

Friend's Response...

Welcome to the tribe.
I think that being a Mac user is a lot like
being Jewish. You are now part of a small,
influential group of computer users who are
working to make creative change in the world.
We all have faith that our Cohen Gadol, Steve Jobs,
will steer us in the right direction and
provide us with drool-worthy technology.
The most interesting thing about it is
that it's not quantifiable. The Mac experience
is just that. It's an experience. You can't
explain it by referring to CPU's, motherboards,
or RAM. It's just that feeling of things
working the way they should. No need
to worry about viruses, driver incompatibilities,
or blue screens of death. The Mac gets out
of your way and lets you do what you need
to do. Now it is still a computer and you will
have issues from time to time. But once
you go Mac, there's no going back! May you
use your new computer to shed light on the
world and fulfill your dreams.
