Started my first day of work today. Was quite fun to see what the working life was like. Not very political like I imagined it to be. Watch too much TV already I think. Anyway now it gives me something to do for the holidays, so it won't be sit home all day anymore. Got to start saving up to buy the things I want, and top on my to-buy list is the new macbook.
Actually I'm not very fussy about the macbook, but I definitely want a macbook. Not because Mac is attractive, though its slick design, and very cool desktop layout were additional bonuses, but because all other laptops, which have a windows OS are terrible. First was my Fujitsu laptop. I had to reinstall windows 3 or 4 times in one year, then the screen spoils and it spends a couple months in the workshop. OK granted that I contributed partly to that one, since I downloaded a fair bit during that year. So lesson learnt, the next laptop, my Acer, which is also my current laptop, strictly no downloads. Well thats not really possible, more like very very strict regime of downloading. Like only school material, or files from OCFers in e-mails. I didn't need to reinstall windows as much, only once. But I had the cursed blue screen of death. If you don't know what that is, that's when the computer screen just goes blue for no reason and restarts itself. Not so irritating when I'm not doing important things, but super scary, and frustrating when doing essays.
So get a new laptop, you say. Why must it be a Mac? Because on top of all the problems my stupid windows laptops have given me, my friends who are Mac users have no problems at all. No virus hits, no blue screens of death, and they are all major downloaders. Not that I'm going to go back to downloading when I get a Mac, but point being if anyone's laptop is to screw up it should be their's before mine.
I hate windows not because Mac is good, but because windows is that bad.
