My First MacHooked by the iBookJeff Campbell - 2003.07.08 My journey into the Apple world was a shot in the dark. In July of 2001 I was shopping for a college computer and moments away from buying a Dell. For some reason I went to Apple.com, and on the main page was a picture of the iBook. I instantly fell in love, even though I had never used a Mac. I really wish I could remember why I went Apple's website, because that decision changed my life considerably. The moment I saw the iBook I was hooked, and by August I had one in my hands. I was very impressed by its performance and the OS. A few months later 10.1 came out, and I was officially a Unix maniac. I used my iBook daily till its death in July of 2002 (replaced by a new one in January of 2003). In June of 2002 I convinced my parents to get a flat panel iMac. At the time they knew how to connect to the Internet and chat on AIM, that's it. I thought teaching them a new OS and all of its functions would be a daunting task. A month later my mom was emailing everyone she knew, and my dad was impulse buying off of eBay. Now that they have had it for a year, I have become terribly proud of my parents. I tell everyone that if my dad can use a Mac, then anyone can. One of the reasons I'm so proud is they are the only people in our group of family and friends that has a Mac. I know that's not an irregular thing, but considering they are also the only ones who use a computer on a daily basis, I think its an exceptional measure of the Mac platform. As stupid as this may sound, I feel like 2 years ago I was in "the matrix" of the computing world . . . and then suddenly I woke up. Now I can show others the way to computer nirvana.
