That’s right folks. I’ve been bad. I’ve been sucked in. I’ve purchased a Macbook Pro. The only thing is… it’s a bloody brilliant machine.
It’s so good, that I’ve already gone off my Windows laptop at home (sorry Bill and Steve).
It’s got all these features that sound all a bit artsy… like gestures, bonjour technology and so forth. It’s like a whole new world. And this new world ROCKS!
I started life with an Amiga 500 back when 286s were laughed at and considered electronic typewriters. Then I bought into the Pentium series of PCs when they got popular (because 2-d gaming started to look dated as the new 3-d games started to arrive)… and up until recently, I used a Toshiba laptop.
So thanks to a good friend of mine: Fen Coull – the Scottish wizard of Programme Management (right now anyway), I got persuaded into looking at the Macbook Pro series. And boy o boy, is Fen onto something.
Just opening the box the laptop is stylishly presented, making you feel like you’ve bought a nouveau piece of art. The aluminium case looks class and the other items are all nicely boxed or wrapped up in white or black packaging. Beautiful.
Setting it up was a doodle. Took all of ten minutes and the thing just zooms along. No freezing, no complicated processes in using programmes. It’s all so natural.
I even made a mini movie on iMovie with my son, his cars and car mat and my Nokia 5230′s camera. It’s great fun!!
All I can say to people who pooh-pooh the whole idea of using anything other than Windows is: give it a try.
It’s a great device and I will never ever go back to a Windows laptop now – it just feels too… slow and antiquated…
Steve Jobs: You are a clever chap and… keep the hamster, I like my Macbook Pro too much! (sorry Hammy).
Oh and to keep this kind of related to databases, you can run Oracle database on the OS X 
schweet. So I’ll check that out and give ya’ll a run down.
Yeehaw!
