Yes, I use Apple products. No, I am not a groupie. Well, not totally.
I have been using Apple products since the 8th grade, when they were cool but before they were really cool. So I guess in some ways Apple hooked me young and is now just reeling it in. I’m not one of those die-hard, religious fanatics that won’t touch a PC for moral reasons. In general, I’m a pragmatist, using the appropriate tools to solve the problem at hand, and finding out what makes me the most productive. With computers, this happens to be Apple products 90% of the time.
For other products, such as cell phones, it’s my junky Nokia that makes great phone calls and wakes me up in the morning. The iPhone looks awesome, but it’s not really something I’m interested in at this time, only because I’m not a big fan of bells and whistles on anything, be it a cell phone, camera, or a website. Again, I’m not totally against cool features, as long as they make sense. For a lot of people the iPhone is their holy grail of PDAs, so they really should run to the nearest Apple store, fight the crowds and buy one of those suckers NOW. I’ll wait until I find a need for one, then get one after the bugs are worked out and the newer versions are released.
At any rate, congratulations to Apple for pushing the envelope yet again.
