Honestly, I feel that my iBook is what a computer should be. This iBook is the first Mac I've ever used. I'm 20 years old, so the first computer I remember using (by myself) was a Compaq Windoze 95 machine. It was slow, unresponsive, and always seemed to have something wrong with it. Ironically, the first PC I ever remember seeing was an OLD Apple all-in-one that my dad used at work back in the 80s/90s. I remember Windows being really "high-tech" at the time 95 came out. Then 98 came out and then ME and finally XP. Around the time ME came out I was old enough to see serious flaw in MS' design and function. When XP came out I was pretty happy for a while, but then came the virus, spy-ware and ad-ware dilemmas--my mind was forever changed. My Windows computers NEVER seemed to work like they should work. I'd try to put the computer to sleep and it would go hay-wire. I'd try to install a program and it would act strangely. I'd try to delete a program and all **** would break loose. In short, Windows was becoming a HUGE pain-in-the-***. My freshman year in university I started seeing these really high-tech machines and I was astounded! Then when I realized they were Apple, I remembered that first machine I saw back in the late 80s and I was hooked. I sat behind one and I have to admit that I felt a bit intimidated, and just a little sleazy using something other than Windows. Once I got the hang of things though, I had to buy one, and when I did, I was hooked. Apple's products just work. It's become a cliche' almost, but it is 100% true--they DO work! It's hard to understand, but I think OS X is what MS wanted Windows to be since 95. I love it how everything is integrated. No drivers to install, nothing to configure, nothing to get in your way. There are actually *useful* tools that come with Mac OS X, I can't say the same for Windows. It is just extremely awesome. I cannot see ANY situation where I would EVER need/want to use a Windoze PC again...
