Hi there, my name is Mike. I am a twenty year old college sophomore at Southern Conn. State U. I work at the Best Buy near our campus as a PCHO and Geek Squad Agent part-time. I have had a long love for computers and all tech-gadgets for that matter since I was ten.
Enough about me, though!
I recently decided to buy into Apple, as I recently came to the realization that 95% of the computers people of all ages and computer-literacies bring to me are PCs. Hey, I have been a long fan of them, built several systems for gaming, and had all the latest tech to go with them- but I decided to turn a new leaf.
I started off by going ahead and buying a corporate sellout Macbook 2.16 Core 2 Duo, loaded with CS4 suite, Ms word 08, ILife and IWork '09 and Norton 2.0 for Macs.. but that will of course be smashed into sparkly new HDD space (which was upgraded to 500GB, by the way)
I am still awaiting its arrival- UPS tracking says the 25th, I say it better be.
I also had a trade in heart with my cellular device, using Blackberries for my last three phones I decided the MobileMe, Time Capsule, and other cool accesories for my Macbook that I can eventually buy and love would all be complimated by a new 16G IPhone 3GS- which I bought outright for a heartacheing 600 bones- but feel it was something that just had to be done.
So if this is not too long to the point you didn't read it, then tell me- what are as follows:
1) Some of the best/most useful/fun things to do or buy for my Macbook. Also, is it worth upgrading my system to 4 gigs of ram from the stock 2, running the new snow leapord OS? I mean, is it REALLY worth it to be the first thing I do, or can I wait and buy some goodies first?
2) Some of the best/most useful/fun things to do or buy for my IPhone. Right now, all I have is a nice full coverage case and a really awesome little tri-charger. It is this all-in-one Car/Home/USB charger that I bought along with the phone for thirty bucks. It is called the 'ISmartCharger' and I figured it wouldn't be a bad thing to start off with to make my life easier with Apple products.
Tell me your favorites, what you love and what you hate alike. I need to know what to be steered away from just as well as what to crash into.
Thank you for reading and responding, bruddahs
