So…Apple

Someone actually emailed me and asked why I didn’t post about the Apple announcements at Macworld.

Uhh...because I don’t own a Mac?  I can’t afford to be a Mac user.  Don’t get me wrong...I love the idea of a “Macbook” (ugh, that name...it does NOT roll off the tongue...the hard consonant in the middle of the word sounds Klingon, not cool) that can run OSX at blistering speeds and can dual-boot Windows.  But have you seen the prices on a machine with decent RAM and a reasonable hard drive, and something beyond a 90-day warranty?  Wow.  It’s astoundingly expensive.

I’m not interested in a big monitor I can’t really tinker with...I’m over the idea of a mini.  If I ever buy a Mac, it’ll be a laptop, that is where the company truly shines IMHO...that and the iPod.

I will say this: the magnetic power cable is a simple idea that seems so obvious in retrospect...pure Apple design, and a great idea.

So...there, I posted about it.  Yay Apple, nice laptop, but you priced me out of the market.
