#35: "Hi, I'm a Mac..."



So Macbooks are addictive.

I'm sitting on the floor of my living room, the screen glare illuminating my face as I hunch over my new gleaming Macbook. I have derived much enjoyment from exploring the programs and applications that are presented to me, while figuring out the differences between this system and my beloved PC. I have discovered that the only main difference between the two is that Macs seem to be tailored to the younger generation. With the flashy graphics that bend and twist over the page when you quit them, or the icons that bob incessantly when they become active (eg. When a new email is received, the email icon springs into action), Macs are certainly much more exciting than the dusty, traditional PC.

I have never owed a laptop in my life, but the freedom I am experiencing makes me feel like a real journalist. To be able to sit amongst nature while tapping rhythms of information into cyberspace is empowering and motivating.

It makes blogging really enjoyable.

Haha, we have a laptop. But putting it on your lap is horrible, it makes you so hot!
Might come in handy for cold days in Bathurst. ;-)
