I first bought a mac G4 tower back in 2000 and sold a year later because my day job used Windows. However after 6 years of frustration I couldn’t take it any longer, took the plunge and picked up a 17″ MacBook Pro this past Spring.

I still like Windows as well, and recently ordered a 14" HP because it had unbelievable specs for the money (including LED backlight display and 512mb video memory). I can't decide wether to open the box or send it back and get the new Macbook pro! I guess that makes me a waffler. lol I’ve been a Mac user for several years, from a 14″ ibook, to a 12″ Powerbook to a 15″ Macbook pro and currently a 13″ Blackbook.

At that time I bought a G4 Ti Powerbook (which still works), but currently I use a MacBookPro. I doubt I will ever own a PC again because once you go Mac...

I have been since early 2000's and before that I worked on macs at school. Really I only had a windows pc about 6 years of my life. Currently I have a macbook pro 2.2ghz about a year old. Through the years I have had about 10-15 different macs ranging from imac, ibook, power mac, macbook, and a couple of macbook pros and too many ipods to name. I got the first ipod and have had almost every model since but now I am strictly iPhone. I started on a G3 processor and now flying with the latest intel chips. I want one of the new macbook pros so bad I can't even think, but want to see them in action for a few months before I commit. I am a part of the cult.

I see it as the great falling away from the faith. I believe that pc trains you for life and Mac helps you hide from reality.

Then we purchased a 17in G5 desktop for the home. My PowerBook now belongs to our childrens pastor. I now have a Macbook13 black and I love it. Also our entire church planting team uses Mac. And our official church computer is a 17inch desktop! Mac are not perfect but they are a better thought out operating system! I converted in 2004 to a PowerBook G4.

As of fall 2005, all journalism freshmen are required to have a wireless laptop, and Apple is the journalism school's preferred provider. I don't think the picture is quite fair because most students coming to the journalism school are so worried about getting in that they're going to buy the preferred provider, plus mom and dad are footing the bill so they'll choose the expensive computer. Too bad this rule wasn't in place in the early 90s. Instead I had my trusty DOS computer. That picture is from a Mizzou journalism class.
