Apple cult

Back from the holiday blog haitus.

Recently, a friend of mine got a new Macbook. I commended him and said “Welcome to the cult!” I don’t know where that came from, but as soon as I said that, I suddenly realized that since I got my first Apple product — a first generation Mac Mini — 2 years ago, I started to have a religion-like-cult experience:

* I started to join bloggers in their Windows-bashing crusade
* Buying products from our own — “iPod is definitely a priority over other MP3 players”
* I always crave for that newly released Apple product.
* I read Apple themed blogs, I discuss with the Apple based communities.
* Lastly, and certainly not the least, I started to think that my Mac is always right.

If I’m heading towards destruction, I need to be saved!

  • If you could give me a messenger that runs on MAC OSX that is capable of the things that YM on windows does --- I might like MAC. But for now ... I don't like MAC like you do, I am kinda disappointed with it.
    HERE ARE THE THINGS I NEED FOR A MESSENGER:
    - Has an option of send to ALL message / MASS MESSAGE, not just by group but for people you choose
    - Has an ARCHIVE
    - Has a GROUP CHAT
    - Could show link of status message (if ever there is one)

    Those are just the things I need ... yet I couldn't find it on mac.

    Another thing, my Toshiba before has all the features I need ... card reader, wi-fi, dvd/cd burner, firewire ... REALLY disappointed with MACBOOK ...
  • I kind of do that, actually. Whenever I am asked which laptop to buy, I "evangelize" and tell them how good a Macbook is. Then I teach them how to be an effective Mac user. Result: more Jobs converts. :-)

    Hahaha! We need to preach, evangelize,disciple and get more converts for Jobs!

    LOL! just joking.
