Here's my challenge to myself: write this entire blog post before OS X Lion finishes download. As of right now, I have 32...no 36...no 28 minutes to go. Challenge accepted.
I decided to make my first timely software update purchase by getting OS X Lion. As you may already know, I have a fetish for slick interfaces and shiny new technology. This is a habit I cannot support on my fellowship over the next few years, but $30 for a software I'm going to need down the road did not sound like a bad purchase at all. So I went ahead and downloaded it. We'll see how this turns out.
Mac users are notorious for their rabid, cult like behavior surrounding all things Apple. And its hard not to be, considering that all Apple products have the wonderful quality of forming an aesthetic continuum. I enjoy the simple interface because I don't have the time nor the wherewithal to sink into learning the backdoor aspects of Windows, nor does my computer experience revolve around this set up. So I am content with my Macbook Pro and my itouch.
Now, I do not have an iphone. This is the one thing I don't particularly care to have from the Apple line of dogmatic objects. A smart phone is sufficient for me, and I have no interest in syncing it with my computer. I download the apps I want and move on with calling all my hoes in their respective area codes.
I am also not of the opinion that mac is inherently superior to windows. It just is for me. I have avoided all the malware that use to cripple my windows machines and my last macbook is still running 5 years after purchase, albeit in a slightly hobbled fashion. I have had a great experience with apple, and that alone keeps me coming back to their line of products. Well, that and Lord Jobs hath commanded it.
In the time it took me to write this meaningless, stupid blog, my wait time for lion has gone to...2 hours 59 minutes.
I hate people.
And we hate you, Peanut.
