Ok...just recently I was introduced to the new things that Mac has to offer. Mainly when I walked into a store and saw the new IMac sitting there. A few co-workers and clients are Mac geeks through and through. One guy has nine in his house. I was just about to buy the 15" iMac with superdrive then my co worker suggested I wait until after MWNY before making my decision. I literally left work and drove up to my local CompUSA to see if they had the new 17" iMac. (I knew that wouldn;t , I just wanted and excuse to play around with a Mac for a while) becuase what I saw I was just was what I was looking for.
As I read all of these posts I sit and wonder if some of them aren't pure whooey. I mean really, one guy claimed he bought $49k worth of Macs for his business and now he is considering switching to PCs because his free email account may (and I stress MAY) be cut off. I'm very glad I don't work for that bone head.
I see alot of disgust from people I was hoping were really into thier equiptment All over , mainly , a free email account??? Dont you guys have an ISP?? Did you really think that it would be free forever?? Ok...so you have alot of people on your contact list . So set up your ISP's given account, type in a nice little letter telling them that your email is changing and hit the CC button a few times and get over it. Good god .
I was looking to get a Mac not only for the good looks , not only for the stability of the OS .Not only because the look of the OS is awsome . Not only becuase I would get to mess around with Unix under the hood......for alot of other reasons ...but also because when I gathered around a confrence room table prior to a meeting I wanted to say that I used a Mac. I wanted to be part of something that I saw a not just a group of people who happened to use the same OS becuase that was what was on sale at the local Best Buy.....I was looking for the sense of community that I thought existed. I was looking for the kind of passion about a product that you see with Mercedes owners. Not just the guy who bought one because his uncle was selling one cheap , but the real owners. The "I just bought the car I will go to my grave with owners." I've never heard anyone say that about a PC. I thought I might find it in the ranks of Mac owners...What I have seen here recently is very disheartening...
