The Mint
I’ve had my eye on a MacBook Air for quite a while now. I wanted to wait a few years to let them work out the kinks and get the specs up to par. Well my wait is over. I have parted with my MacBook Pro (mid 2010) for a new MacBook Air. I have to admit that I was worried about the loss of power and wondered if I would regret it. The truth is I haven’t given any thought to the performance of the machine. Mostly because it just works and I don’t notice any loss of performance in my day-to-day.
I took my iPhone and put it back into its box and placed it on the shelf. It would sit there on that shelf for a long time while I explored a new platform: Windows Phone 7. My mobile experience so far has been full of interesting ups and downs. At times I hardly missed my iPhone. Other times were spent cursing the new platform. It’s been just over 7 months of nothing but Windows Phone 7 and I’ve finally had enough. I will be putting the iPhone back off the shelf.
I am new to the Apple universe but I’m starting to see what all the fuss is about. Speaking strictly of design Apple has no rivals. My new MacBook Pro is a work of art. The OS X that I’ve started to play with a bit more lately is equally as beautiful. But OS X does have a blemish even if not visible from the surface. It’s MAC is horrible.
I’m a Windows guy. I’ve never used Linux. I’ve never used OS X. The only operating system I have ever used besides Windows was MS-DOS. So when I say I’m a Windows guy I mean it. I’ve been heavily invested in the world of Microsoft for basically my whole life. I never really considered this to be a bad thing; maybe I still don’t.
