And I've been trying to fall asleep and well, still very wide awake.
Story Of My Nokia N70
Its day 12 of not having my beloved n70 with me, and well the feeling wasn't as painful as it was but it still left a scar. The scar of not being able to listen to music on the bed(God i need an iPod), the scar of not able to take photos in an instant, the scar of loosing all my contacts and answering call and saying, "hello, yeah yeah, anyway who are you?", the scar of loosing all my calendar and schedules and birthdays!. That was exactly how much my n70 meant to me and Damn, i miss it so...
Work
Working this few days have been a breeze, sales were terrific, the luck was there and targets were met. Thank God... "Legends" just left the company making me one of the slightly more senior staff (not officialy) there. The atmosphere will change and well it'll be different. No one to complain to HQ about delayed commission or salary.
Decisions
After a few days of deciding what to replace my beloved n70, I think I've finally decided the perfect replacement.
No its not the iPhone.
But its the nokia n95.
Price now is about RM1500 and probably lower as what I predicted.
Lets just hope it drops alright, and probably I'll have more pictures in this blog too since the camera is a 5 Mega pixels camera and yes it does have wi-fi connection too.
iMac or MacBook
Okay, this looks like I'm a rich bastard who wants to get a n95 then want to get an imac or a macbook too. This is actually for fun. Well its more of a "What If" situation.
Assuming I'm going to leave the company someday. As a staff of machines, I'm entitled to buy any apple product at staff price once a year. So why don't I fully utilized it by just getting one.
Pros and Cons
I'll start off with the iMac,
Great screen to start off with 20" minimum and 24" for the larger one.
Great quality, aluminum finish body and glass screen.
Intel Core 2 Duo is a much better processor comparing to my Intel Pentium 4 1.6Ghz.
Amazing graphic card
Huge storage space
Great resale value
All the performance for a low price of Rm5799.
Macbook
Portable and classy
Portable, portable, portable, portable..... Damn its just great damn it.
Although its not as powerful as the iMac and not as beautiful as the iMac but DAMN its a NOTEBOOK and by the law, college students requires NOTEBOOKS more than a desktop.
And why the hell am I typing in CAPS, this caffein is really taking action man. GAARRR!
Maybe you can help me decide yeah? KTHX!
Convert
Since everyone in the whole world seems to be using a PC. Maybe I as a windows user can too convert U to become a mac user. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions by an average Windows user.
Its hard to adapt to a Mac
Mac Leopard OS X is the most user friendly interface and the best user experience ever operating system yet in the world. It beats the hell out of the aging old XP and the so unreliable and complicating Vista.
Why 5 versions of Vista and 1 for Mac
Vista already starts to confuse the consumers even though they haven't bought a Vista yet by just selecting the versions of which Operating System to get. If I want more I have to Pay more if i pay less I'll get and XP with new lousy interface.
Macs don't ship in with anti virus!
Of Course they don't, first of all, 440,000 viruses on a PC, 0 on a Mac. What else do you need to say?
I need to use Microsoft Office regularly.
There's Microsoft Office for Mac and you can even run Boot Camp which means Windows on a Mac. And install your Microsoft Office on your Windows. Or why don't you try iWork 08?
You Can't upgrade it
On a mac, there is little to upgrade because you don't really need to upgrade it. The reason is because the standard one is already More Powerful than any standard PC. If you really need the extra speed and performance you can upgrade the RAM and Hard disk, and you won't void the warranty. Don't worry.
World Wide Coverage
Apple have international coverage warranty and requires no warranty card because it does everything on the internet.
Games
I can't play games on a mac, because there are so few games, Well, that statement might be true now but by looking at it, it won't be for long for companies to build games for the mac too. This is because of the easy UNIX codes to create games and the awesome graphics they can do to it too and yes, intel chipsets.
Its just not as fast, I've seen a PC with better specs before about a year ago
A standard PC may have the speed but can its operating system fully utilize it all?
I doubt so, try starting or render the same image on a Mac and on the more powerful PC on Photoshop, then you'll know the difference.
Expensive
Macs are more expensive than a PC not because of its Specs, not because of its OS.
Macs tend to be more expensive than a PC because it is a premium quality product and although you can get more on a PC for the same value, but try selling that 4 years later and see whether the value of it can match a mac.
Its a proven point made than a mac has a better value comparing to a PC.
Replacing Mac, PCs can be upgraded
A Mac can be upgraded too and even the old Macs can be running the current and latest Operating system created which is the Leopard. Try using your old PC and run Vista, lets see what happen. Well Technology is like that, try buying a camera and 3 years later its outdated thats technology. PCs gets old too and Macs too gets old. But do not forget that you can sell your Mac for a higher value and get a new mac. Sure beats upgrading an old pc and throwing it away onces it reaches its limits.
Well I think I've covered most of the FAQ by most average users. This is why I work at machines too.. LOL I deserve a raise i guess?
If you have any inquiries try hitting me back and I'll do my best to answer you.
Great now its 3.10am I've got work tomorrow. Good Night, Time to Count Sheeps, and lets hope caffeine don't strike back.
