Posted Saturday, April 1, 2006 12:27am Happy Birthday
Today marks the 30th anniversary of Apple Computer. I bought my first Mac over ten years ago: the Power Macintosh 7500 with a 100 mHz processor, running OS 7.5. I followed that up with a blue & white G3 that tripled the processing speed (300!). Then my first laptop, the PowerBook G3 with a 550 mHz processor. It served me well until last fall, when the hard drive finally sputtered out. I swapped it out for a new HD and got it purring again. It was my main computer until my MacBook Pro arrived two weeks ago. And how about the iPod? I'm on my third one. Got the first gen 10 gig model, then the four button third gen and finally the 60 gig video iPod last fall. Apple's products just fucking rock. A recent e-mail from a copywriter I used to work with:
Why I hate telemarketers...
This particular asshole was calling from India. Then, for the next three hours, his co-workers called me every hour. I stopped answering. For the record, I did add my name to the National Do Not Call list, but they called looking for Jerry Gerber, the man who used to have my number.
