Thinking Different.

Apple hopes that their introduction of the Mac mini will entice more Windows users to their camp. Well, I can attest to that! For I, myself, a staunch Windows user, am willing to take the plunge (or leap, whatever) to Aquadom.

Funny thing is, though I did entertain a notion of actually purchasing the Mac mini--and how could I not? The Mac mini's so cheap and cute, I can't help but slobber for one--I finally decided I didn't need another desktop. I already have a monster of a Windows box at home which is capable of anything I throw at it, and I use another, more sedated box at work. But it was too late. I had already took a bite of the Apple, and I wanted the whole fruit to myself. I had to have a Mac. Mac OS X was too cool to ignore.

In my line of work, a notebook's always handy to have around, so that's exactly what I'm planning on getting. A Mac notebook. Since I can't afford a PowerBook (sniff sniff), I'll have to make do with an iBook G4. Which is good too. I've decided that a 12" iBook G4 upgraded with 512MB would be suitable for my needs, which would be word processing, e-mail and web-browsing. I know I can get a cheaper notebook for such tasks... but then it wouldn't be a Mac now, would it?

I plan to get one in the early days of March, when my February salary comes in. A Mac in March. Not bad, huh? I could probably get the iBook sooner, but I'm planning on getting an iPod shuffle first, on which topic I will deal with in its own blog post.
