== When Apple Rules The World =
What does it mean when you really, really want to lick a new MacBook Pro, and swoon?

I have right here in my hot little hands that actually aren't all that little and are only slightly warm at the moment a brand new lick-ready smooth-as-love Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo Super Orgasm Deluxe Ultrahard Modern Computing Device Designed by God Herself Somewhere in the Deep Moist Vulva of Cupertino Yes Yes Don't Stop Oh My God Yes.

I believe that is the actual name of the product. I might be wrong. I do not really care.

This machine, this silky hunk of aluminum and wire and divine Chinese factory-made love, was recently delivered into my hands by a squad of naked cooing angels who all happened to look exactly like Jenna Jameson or perhaps Eva Green and who also gave me a free foot massage and four hits of premium Ecstasy and a complimentary 3-hour tongue bath, all at the same time.

It is possible I imagined that last part. It is possible it was merely, you know, UPS. It is possible I am exaggerating just slightly overall. I do not really care. ...

4. excellent. Apple evening at my house last night

I work on Windoze all day....administering databases on various flavors of Unix and windows...at home...it is all Mac.

Daughter has iBook and iPod 30 gb, Wife has iMac G5, I have dual G4 MDD and a PowerBook.

Last night my daughter had a friend over to play guitars and sing, I mutli-track recorded a version of her song "14 Hours" for them on my G4 dualie, using two studio condensor mics into firewire MOTU interface, made a Mp3 out of it in iTunes, they plugged thier iPods into G4 MDD and copied it to thier iPods. This was all done in less than a couple hours.

Rather than watching TV or playing video games these kids worked up parts, pacticed and recorded it in my little makeshift home studio. I set up a coupl emics in the living and run them to my room. I yell rollling and they play and then come in and listen through my monitors. (AR speakers hooked through my computer to a 70's vintage Pioneer amp)

Later I lay in bed listening to SOMA FM's Ambient Internet Radio out of ITunes through my powerbook and headphones....at 12:30 I wake, close the power book and drift off to a deep sleep.

The amazing thing that indeed Apple has done is make all that so easy to do. It takes all the geeky tech crap out of the way and allows people to be creative. It allows to take your creative passion further...

You can hear the first version of "14 Hours" (the one from last night is not finished yet...she needs to add the second vocal track yet and I have some EQ and mixing to do)

5. It is nice to see the rest of the world is catching up...

to the Mac lifestyle! :applause:

I used PCs long, long ago before Windows and before PCs had any decent graphing software. So, I bought a Mac to use for creating graphs and immediately fell in love with the platform. After you've lived in the ease of the Mac-world for a while, PCs are just ugly, ugly, ugly.

Go Mac -- :woohoo:

6. The next upgrade I'm going to take a bite of Apple myself.

The first inclination way back in the 80's when I bought my first 80286 was to go apple but the program I wanted to learn wasn't offered for a mac.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

7. My first computer was a Mac Plus, when programs could fit on a floppy

with Apple's system on there too. I loved that dinosaur. Family members here strayed to PCs and when I started to work on the Internet, programs I needed were not made for Mac so I succumbed, reluctantly. I then discovered I not only need a desktop but a laptop to monitor my biz when not in my office and had gone through 3 PC laptops. When my latest started to go bonkers on me I decided to hell with it, I wanted an iBook and get back to my MacRoots. So I purchased used on eBay, a G3, and am back somewhat short of heaven, but near it. I forgot how intuitive Macs were and the ease of operation. No mass scale viruses to worry about, not registry entries that clog up the system. It's lovely!

8. Steve Wozniak will be on Tavis Smiley's PBS show tonight

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. He was on Colbert a month ago and Wozniak said his first book was of

computer jokes. He then gave Colbert one "256"

It's a great interview and is available to view at The Colbert Report on Comedy Central.
