Why I love my Mac

One more day till my new friend (aka my digital camcorder) arrives. :) This afternoon Apple held an Education Seminar here on campus and it was awesome. In the first hour they talked about the new features in Tiger (10.4 -- why does it have to be a whole $129 to upgrade?!? ~sigh~), and then for the last two hours they split into two groups, one talking about IT/server stuff, the other covering Final Cut Studio. Of course I went to the second one. Vin Capone gave it and showed us Final Cut Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, and DVD Studio Pro, along with a very brief bit on Shake. Very, very cool. They sell Final Cut Studio for $700 here in the bookstore. Maybe I'll be able to buy it in three years (after I get my dual-processor G5). ;)

So, why do I love my Mac? It's a beautiful computer, aesthetic in every sense (both hardware and software). It's stable. It's built on Unix. It's the best thing out there. I've seen it all -- DOS, Windows, Linux -- and I'm very, very, very satisfied with my Powerbook G4. There's no way I would ever go back to buying a PC. Ever. Working with my Mac is fun. Working with PCs is punishment.

Hmm, I sound like an Apple salesman. :)
