I'm feeling a little guilty and I think I need to confess. See, I'm a PC girl at heart but I finally gave into the prompts to download Apple's Safari. I've ignored it not wanting to give in to the temptation but this morning I had a weakness. In order to install a new gadget to my iPhone (see I've already started to turn apple-ish) I had to update my iTunes (again, another apple-ish product) and Safari was lumped in there with the download. I just didn't take the time to sort out only what I needed and I let it all download. Of course once it was sitting on my computer the temptation to open it up and try it was just too much for a PC girl to bare. So, I did it. I opened it - see the proof below:
A pretty sleek looking site. Now I'm curious. I already had a feel for what Apple can provide with my iPhone. And, I have to admit that Chad and I went into the Apple store to pick up an accessory for my phone and we did stop and dare I say touched the MacBook Air. Nice. And when I see on TV shows the iMac, my heart skips a beat a little bit. I've even found myself giggling at those ridiculous Apple/PC commercials where Apple is so simple and PC so not. But NO, I'm a PC girl! I am waaaaay too invested in the PC. 15 years of learning all about the PC, messing with it, purchasing software. I'm way too emotionally and financially invested in PC, so is my family - all PC lovers. Plus, I don't want to be out of the loop with my family. We all need to communicate. We all need to be compatible. It is for these reasons I will remain with my PC. I've heard rumors that Apple is much more PC friendly these days and there might be ways to work thru this. But for me I'm sticking with PC. I'll just continue to dabble with the "accessories". Play with Safari browser. See how it goes. But hey you Apple people you. If you are ever looking for a loyal PCer to test your MacBook Air or iMac give me a call, email me or post on this blog. I *might* be tempted to give it a test drive.
And who knows, if you're as good as you claim to be, there is a huge line of PCers I know that could be converted.
Matt has a Mac, I have a Dell. I totally understand what you are going through. It wouldn't take much (well, just a couple thousand$$) for me to switch. Apple is really great.
Also, if you haven't tried Firefox as a browser, you might. It's smooth and fast and has some great applications. Way better than Explorer. Gosh, we are geeky, aren't we??
