I began my highschool career August 14, 2002.
My highschool had a computer program there called Student Technology Leadership Program, STLP for short.
I joined their ranks and really didnt know alot about computer, i just knew i had a great interest in them.
As i progressed in my learning of PCs and PC repair, i never got to know the mac. And as always, in human nature, we are afraid of the unknown.
By January of 2003, i was a PC fanatic. I was going to lan parties, most notably LANWAR, building PCs, i was doing it all.
My Freshmen year is what i call, the introduction to the computer world.
In August of 2003, i was in the STLP again, for the year, again. So, in december, one of our faithful G3 iMacs died for no reason. I was commisioned to repair it.
Until that day, i hated mac, i hated everything about mac, i hated the way they made their business circled around where you have to buy their product.
I started investigating. I checked the PSU first, then i took out the HD and discovered it just died. I poped a new one in and had to reinstall 10.2
It was the easiest OS install ive ever done in my life. From that day on i started tinkering with the iMac, playing around, seeing what was going on.
And now, Christmas 2004, i got my 12 inch powerbook.
Although in August and Sept., my father wanted to get laptops for my brothers since they were attending college now. I recommended 14 inch iBooks. And thats what they got.
So, i say i switched about that time.
But here i am, spawn of the PC world, member of the Mac philosophy.
Thank you for your time. :headphone
