Itch to switch, part 2
The iPod arrived yesterday. It comes in such neat packaging. The box is a cube, but flips open like a huge ring box. (Oh, Apple, this is all so sudden… yes, I do!) But now it has to wait for the iBook to get here, since I can’t download iTunes onto my current Windows laptop in the meantime. iTunes requires 2000 or XP, and my laptop has ME, the quickly forgotten lovechild of Windows versions. Remember ME? Yeah, whose bright idea was that?
[Update (15:22): Whoa, the iBook is here! Well, it’s waiting at the front desk of the condo building, to be exact. I only just now got an e-mail from Apple notifying me of the tracking number, but apparently it had been shipped a few days ago. I wasn’t expecting it until next week. Nice!]
In other news, the new iMac G5 is out. Mmm, pretty. Oh, and Thom made me promise not to become an annoying Apple evangelizer. Not to worry, I’m not quite there. Yet.

Jeff's not the only one with new toys. During my blogging hiatus, I bought myself a new computer too, a [ed. note: Gene, you might want to stop reading now, lest you lose any respect you might still have had... Read more
Don’t worry, I’ll turn you into an Apple evangelizer yet. I wonder if I’d get a toaster for that??
It’s not the Apple evangelizing per se that gets to me (I was a Mac-only user for 12 years myself, and was probably insufferably proud of the fact too), rather it’s the incessant Windows- and Windows-user bashing of some segments of the Apple community that I find annoying and insecure; that’s what I don’t want you to fall into.
oy i hate those super sensitive windows users who can’t handle the truth.
(only kidding, thom. half kidding. xox.)
Ay, enjoy setting up your new toy! I’m a tech luddite but the thrill is palpable!
Psst — your Apple Evangelist kit is in the mail. It comes in not a plain brown wrapper, but a slick white package that opens like a Chinese puzzle box, and contains Steve Jobs’ home telephone number. Don’t tell the Windows people, but we Mac people get together every few months at Steve’s house for a vegetarian barbecue and then we sit in the hot tub and watch Pixar movies on the big screen. Secret. Keep it to yourself.
Ah, but Thom, in the grand tradition of everything, it works both ways! Both sides are good for different reasons… but we have better packaging ;)
