I Bought a New MacBook!
Hey folks! Yes, I am still alive and well. Things have been busy at home so I haven't had much time to update the blog. But I recently did something very significant in terms of updating my computer collection: I bought a Mac!
I was waiting patiently for Apple to update their MacBook line up and I'm glad I did. I ended up picking up a 13" aluminum base model and I've been loving it! Using OS X was a bit weird at first, but I quickly picked up the differences after using Windows for the past 15 years!
I am happy to say that I will never have to format and reinstall XP ever again. What a great feeling to be liberated from the grips of Microsoft. It's really unfortunate that I never did get the chance to experience the wonderful upgrade in Vista. /sarcasm
Anyways, here is a pic for your enjoyment. If you have any applications you can recommend or good sites to visit, let me know! Until then, I'm happily enjoying my new MacBook to go along with my iPhone 3G. Does this qualify me as an Apple fan boy yet? ;)

It's interesting how Apple fanboys are the ones who complain about "the grips of Microsoft" yet end up buying thousands of dollars worth of Apple products... You have gone from the "grips" of one company (who aren't even allowed to use their OS to sell their other products) to the "grips" of one that is even worse... Funny!
Yeah, but at least I like the products I'm spending my money on from Apple--that's the difference.
With Windows XP, the OS is a piece of junk and many other people agree too. I wouldn't even want copies of XP/Vista if they were given to me as gifts! They would make great coasters though. ;)
One day...you will switch to Mac...ONE DAY!! :p
I think you will enjoy the Mac!
I love the new mac books! The aluminum base model with the black buttons speak beautifully complimenting the laptop. You made a great investment.
That mac book looks amazing! The aluminum base model speaks wonders to compliment those black buttons. Good investment.
Hi! I am a teacher living in Seoul. I just stopped by and saw you have a new mac! Welcome to the world of Apple. I got one before I left and wonder why I did not get one sooner!
Anyway, nice blog!

Hey GDog, I would recommend not using Boot Camp, and instead using Parallels (if you're going to use Windows apps at all anymore). Parallels Desktop lets you run a windows environment concurrent to the MacOS environment, whereas BootCamp makes you reboot into one or the either...
Congrats on your new Mac-dom.
Personally, walking into an Apple Store gives me a chubby...
cool, am still saving for my macbook. enjoy ur new earned jewel.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Apple! My life has dramatically improved, not having to reinstall Windows every six months.
I switched to a Mac 5 yrs ago after working at the Apple Store in SOHO. I can wholeheartedly say that Apple is a solid company who regard their customers with dignity, but not only their customers but also their employees! After getting kicked out of Apple, Steve Jobs really grew in character and was invited back, making it what it is today.
I have a Mac and I love it...it has taken me a few to get going on it, i am not sad about it..

Hi
Just read your post on the Mac - we are windows users but have also just invested in a Mac book - beautiful! I can see why Mac users are so fond of their kit.

Hi,you and Paola!
It's Jenny in Korea.
I'm terribly sorry that I haven't
been in touch with you.
As you guess, I have been super
busy working at school and home.
I have been pretty exhausted.
It has been too crazy to find time to write to you for a while.
I hope you still remember me.^^
Take it easy and talk to you soon!
Hey there! It should be a nice experience. Where are you from? I lived last year in Canada to learn English and I met too many koreans studying there.
I met some Canadians and Americans who are going to Korea teaching Englhish there. Anyway, travel is always nice... so whenever you go enjoy your trip!

The MacBook has been solid so far. I would highly recommend using a Mac since I used to a dedicated Windows user. Goodbye Microsoft, hello Apple!
Smart move Gdog! Enjoy your MAC!!!
Hey there. I stumbled upon your page through a google search.... I'm trying to fond out if I can use my iPhone 3g when I move to Seoul later this month. I'll be teaching English. Last time I was there I used a Korean phone....now I can't imagine giving up my iPhone for a regular mobile. Noticed you mentioned having one yourself. Were you able to/have you been able to use it in Korea? If so please inform... I'm at lemuelodell@gmail.com. Leaving for Korea in the next couple of weeks.... Thanks. Lemuel.
