[QUOTE="Discerptor, post: 186994, member: 12177"] I bought this PowerBook in August 2005. A friend of mine kind of got the idea in my head by recommending it since among the people I know, he probably knows the most about computers. So that inspired me to go check out information about Macs online and go hands-on in the Apple Store and whenever I saw a friend of mine had one. By the summer, I had really gotten to like the Mac OS and decided a powerBook would be the ideal laptop for me. My original plan was to get the 15-inch PowerBook but my dad surprised me by insisting that I get the 17-inch and fronting the money, so that I wouldn't have to strain my eyes on a small screen. I can't thank him enough for that now because this laptop is probably my favorite worldly possession, and since I'm using it as my primary (and only) computer, the extra beefiness of the 17-inch model and the large screen are much appreciated. I remember the first few months were amazingly fun because I was learning the new OS, and I've gotten quite good at doing stuff with it. So I now have extensive knowledge of Windows and a large amount about OS X. While I don't plan on buying a Windows computer ever unless I decide I need gaming, I still like to keep up-to-date with the Windows world and will make sure to learn Vista as well as I did its predecessors.
