I can’t really remember since when I have been drolling for a Mac: probably it’s as soon as I saw the very first iMac in fruity colours. And now, a decade later, I finally get to own my very first Macintosh: the humble Mac Mini.
And for the whole week, I have been staying up until three in the morning getting to know this new baby of mine: awed by the simplicity and beauty of the thing and OSX as well as banging on my head over its little differences and quirks. (I still can’t get over the fact that I couldn’t Shift-Delete files)
Having gone through and used all three major operating systems, namely Windows, Linux and OSX, I’m pretty surprised how similar all these systems works and certainly couldn’t understand how people would really swear over one system over the other.
Maybe it’s just me being a computer power user which greatly reduces most basic learning curves and the fact that I’d google as soon as I face some problems that I couldn’t solve. Or maybe I’m not really into games and gadgets in generally that I’ve to go through any head-banging to any solid surface when I find out that it doesn’t work with whatever system I’m using.
Either way, I now got the perfect computer setup that I wanted, leaving only two things to wish for: a webcam that could take high-definition videos and Windows 7 Professional Edition, which I plan to dual-boot it with my Mac — mainly for my games and some occasional software development work.

Or maybe it’s a new toilet effect. When you get a new toilet, you will feel like shit more. After a while, it will become an old Windows machine again. Hahaha.
Like Windows 7 is my new toy. Feeling tired with it very soon…

Haha, I wonder whether I’d like that analogy :LOLOL: At least with a better computer, the performance itself pays for itself (sort of like if everything feel snappy you feel like you can do everything faster)
Something I have always wanted, but got myself a new PC with the new i5 processor. Didn’t know when I would fulfill my dream of owning a Mac. Hehe.

Honestly speaking, having used it for the past week, the only reason to own a Mac is for the pretty hardware and OSX (and probably the LED-lit LCD in higher end iMacs). Functionality wise all OS didn’t any different other than different skins and little quirks. Pretty much 80% of the software I’d installed are exactly the same across Windows, Linux and Mac, so relatively speaking the transition and switching of OS is pretty easy for me.
But I do have to say that OSX gave me the best feeling and mood to be actually productive. Not sure why?
[Maybe it's the pretty fonts, or perhaps when I type blog posts I find it easy to key in special symbols etc.]
