Yeah, I know. A lame transformation of René Descartes’ original saying. Sacrebleu! Anyhow, the other day I was loading up my iPod that I use when I go for a run and I realized that I have a ton of Apple stuff. The picture on the left is my current iPod collection. I started buying Apple products about 3 years ago. I took a quick inventory, and here’s what I have so far:
- Apple MacBook Pro 15”
- Apple MacBook Pro 13”
- Apple MacBook 13”
- Apple iPod Shuffle
- Apple iPod nano
- Apple iPod Touch
- Apple TV
- Apple 24” Cinema Display
- Apple Airport Base Extreme
- Apple Airport Express
- Apple Wireless Mouse
- Apple Keyboard
I guess I’ve made the transition from Windows to Apple! I gave away my last Windows laptop a couple of weeks ago and my last Windows desktop about a year ago. We are officially a 100% Apple household. It’s not that hard to make the transition. There is a bit of a learning curve to get used to the Mac OS X system, but it’s not too bad. Most of the software you tend to use on a day-to-day basis is already included in the basic system. Unless you’re doing Windows software development, pretty much any type of software is available for the Apple. Even then, if you really need to run a Windows program, you can run it on your Apple in a virtual machine or using the included Boot Camp software that comes with every Apple. There’s even software that will let you make an exact copy of your current PC and import it and run it on your Apple in a virtual machine environment. It’s really pretty slick.
So, when are you going to take the plunge?
