Flashback: Apple fan

Maybe that explains a lot, why I love Apple computers.

The first computer I used were Apple II and IIe. The first computer I bought was an Apple IIc. The first computer I got wowed by was Mac (black and white).

IBM PCs looked cold, bulky and boring. And at that time, they were equally as expensive as Apple. So it made no sense whatsoever on buying one.

My First Computer

My first computer was an Apple IIc. After fiddling around with Apple IIe's in my school, I convinced my dad that I wanted an Apple. Even back in those days, the Apple design was far better and more appealing. PCs looked bulky and unattractive, even in those days. Well, nothing has changed I guess.

AMD Athlon II X4 620

Quad-core for the masses! Finally a quad-core that all people can afford. It costs only $99. For that, you can get a dual-core from Intel (which I think is way overpriced). Hats off to AMD for bringing the price of quad-core down so that any person can buy it. But Intel also has a similar tactics up its sleeve, the Q7000s, but I doubt if it will fall in a similar price range. Intel is always more expensive for price/performance wise.

Welcome to My Blog

I plan on blogging about computers, gadgets, and software for the ordinary person. So, this is a point of view from a common man, not a techno geek, which I hope you will find refreshing.

I'm an Apple fan but do use other operating systems, and appreciate technological advancement of any sort...

I hope it will be of help for you to decide which computers/parts/accessories to buy and understand software and other gadgets.
