I Can’t be a Total Apple Snob, Can I?

I mean I just forgot my one year anniversary of using a macintosh. I think I got mine in earl February of 07′. It seems so much longer than just one year. I have been so happy.On the not a apple snob side. I still think Steve Jobs is a cocky fucker. Apple not allowing some of the simplest stuff on OS X in some cases is out of pure stubbornness at times. They are still expensive in my mind no matter how happy they make me feel overall using one daily. I have accepted that every 2 years I should be upgrading an almost $3000 machine. Where I used to upgrade PC’s every 2 years at a cost of about $800.

On the I am an apple snob side. I will say I cringe everytime I have to use a windows machine. Even more so when its not my windows machine. I also feel compelled to preach the good word sort of speak when people ask what machines to buy. I tend to say an apple product. For one its only mildly more expensive in the lower non pro model line. With the exception of a gamer on a budget. They will need a pro model. My final word when in the presents of a PC when its failing in any of the many ways it can is “Buy a mac”. Would I have a nervous break down if forced to go back to a PC, yeah I think I would. I could adjust back to a PC environment, but I’d lose all will to create or work on it. Proof I’m a apple snob is that I wold compare working on a PC VS a MAc as the following. Working in a dark damp old dust office built in the 60s in a bad part of town VS Working in one of those expensive, clean looking, and modern offices you see on TV somewhere exciting like NYC or Tokyo.

    thats just it… You dont have to upgrade a mac every 2 years… I still use my G5 on a near daily basis… and its the original 1.8 single processor… So lets see.. how long has it been? Introduction date: June 23, 2003 — so its been 5 years already… The G5 is still quite usable.
