My Lovey Dovey Apple Techy

So, yes. I used to be a big fat nerd in love with gadgets, computers, IT's, CPU's, giga-bytes, etc. I used to know everything about everything in technological worlds. Intel's Smithfield series with Netburst architecture, AMD's Barcelona architecture, DDR vs. DDR2, L2 vs L3 Cache... I knew everything!

Well, as you see the examples I listed above, I'm old and obsolete. I no longer am up-to-date with today's technology. When I was a student, my budget was limited, so I had to research and make sure to get the best valued products. Now I have more than enough money that I can manage, so I don't care as much anymore, muohahaha.

No, I was joking. I don't have that much money. But, having more money now did contribute to my change. As I started working 8 hours every day and sometimes weekends to compensate my inefficiency from dumb brain. So, I don't have much time following up the latest technology news. Also, since I started making my own money, I am not as desperate to search for the best-valued gadgets.

That being said, I started loving Apple products. Yes. If you're a true nerd, I mean a true poor nerd, you will never look at Apple products. They ARE NOT BEST-VALUED GADGETS, if not over-priced. They look pretty, shiny, "minimalistic", and all that. Sometimes they are arrogant when promoting their products. I never looked at their stuffs either when I was a student, until right before I graduate.

What I like about their products is that... they are worry-free... mostly. Part of the reason I was a big fat nerd before was because of Windows. It just broke so many times that in order to fix them myself, I had to learn lots of stuffs, and that naturally led me to nerdy world. But, Apple products didn't make me learn as much. I mean, they do break from time to time. But spending minimal time on the internet researching for solution works all the time. I've never had to go into like Registry Editor or open one of those .sys files. Most times, I was able to solve the problems still in GUI interface. Many times, problems weren't really problems. It was more of me not configuring things properly.

I see that Windows got a lot better since XP. I also have the latest version, 8.1, on the virtual machine on my MacBook pro. I agree that it is great, 10,000 times better than Windows 95/98. (By the way, MS-DOS 5.3 was the first OS I played with). Microsoft is finally doing things right. If they keep doing it, I may go back to Windows again. I mean, I'm not a maniac of anything. I just love computers and its tech specs although I'm not knowledgeable anymore.

Enough talking. I'll end the post with pictures of some Apple products I have.
