Will I Become A Switcher?
If you Wiki the word switcher, you’ll know what I’m about to become. A switcher is someone who used to be a PC owner/user but is now going to switch to a Mac.
If things go as planned, I will be purchasing a new Macbook this week. Why does this deserve a blog post? Simple. I’ve been a PC user my entire life. My Dad worked at IBM for 30+ years so we always had a IBM PC while I was growing up. Although my degree is in Marketing, I’ve always had a love for computers and I feel like I can learn anything computer related very quickly. I also feel like I am pretty well-versed in PCs and Windows. So why would I switch?
Two reasons. (1) I bought an Apple iPhone in October 2007 and it literally changed my life. I love it. It’s an amazing piece of technology and is the best smart phone up to date (in my “expert” opinion). With this iPhone purchase, I was opened to so many podcasts and other media that preached the Apple sermon. Soon after, I wanted to become a member of the Apple church. (2) Word of mouth regarding the Apple Macbook was so evident to me that I realized I was clearly missing out on something. Whether it was twitter, pownce or even Facebook, I asked a lot of my “friends” what their opinion was regarding the Macbook and I did not get ONE bad response. Not one.
So I plan on going to the Apple store very soon and I hope that my next blog post will be on my new Macbook. Here’s to Apple!

The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.

You’re absolutely right Tracy… Working at Dell must make you laugh often, huh?
