My history with computers goes back a while. I started with a Commodore 64 and then an Atari ST and from that I went to ‘IBM’ computers, (my first was a Packard Bell 386) I got involved with PC’s and worked with these machines for a very long time. Every computing task thinkable was done with PC’s from spreadsheets and word processing, to optical character recognition (OCR). And of course I’ve played lots of games on PC’s!
Somewhat ten years ago I had my first Mac experience with the light blue iMac.
A good friend of mine introduced me to the world of Mac with such enthusiasm that I had to see and feel this for myself. I entered a brave new world of computing!
Especially I liked the way the Mac managed things differently, a refreshing new way of doing things. Just because of the fact that OS8 & OS9 where not capable of doing ‘everything’ I wanted to do with my computers, and to be more specific; do everything I could already do with my PC, I turned back to using my PC more than the Mac. It was a painful decision, because like I said I really liked this Mac. But hey… if it does not do everything you want or have to do… it’s a run race.

Last year, on February 7th 2007 I bought for the amount of € 217,- an upgrade of ‘Vista’ Home Premium; Microsoft’s brand new operating system and was very disappointed in how it worked and what it did or did not do! I was so disappointed that after a few weeks of trying to get things working, I went to the local Apple store and bought myself a MacBook. With this my appreciation for the Apple brand was renewed.
In my future Blogging I will tell you all about why I like my Mac so much.
