Get Your Strategy On
I’m drinking the Kool Aid. I ordered a Mac.
Nov182006 Filed under: Technology Author: Tony MorganI ordered a MacBook yesterday. It’s my first Mac…assuming my iPod doesn’t count. I’m so excited to start using it because I’ve heard Mac’s never get viruses. They never crash. The hardware never fails. Three out of four dentists recommend them for preventing cavities. And, they’re supposed to slow male pattern baldness. The main reason I bought it, though, is because Macs are sexy. Emily won’t be able to keep her hands off me once she sees the glow of that apple.

“Emily won’t be able to keep her hands off me once she sees the glow of that apple.”
Sounds like a simply strategic technology purchase if you ask me.

as an owner of both, a 17″ hp monster laptop and a 20″ iMac, although my pc is a sucker for viruses, sadly, my mac has crashed a few times. but it’s a year old. in mac years, that’s reaching AARP age.

I’ve enjoyed my MacBook Pro since buying it this past summer… though it does crash on me from time to time. It’s cool & all, but it’s just another computer… albeit a sexy one. :)
I was never one to get many viruses on my PC anyway, even without anti-virus software, due to avoiding Microsoft products (beyond the OS) and not opening attachments or installing dubious software.
PS - Just for the record, iPods aren’t Macs. One reason Apple switched their naming scheme for laptops from “iBook” to “MacBook” was to help clear up that kind of brand fuzziness.

Welcome to the cult. For tips on how to look down your nose at the others using their PC’s just let me know (tongue planted firmly in cheek).
Which one did you purchase? White or black?

White. If it’s black, it’s not really a Mac.

Well Tony, my wife has one of those little sexy white numbers and it is a nice machine but… I still can’t get it to sink with her PDA and it want talk to the home network printer which I bought through apple to avoid the problem. No problem with my thinkpad xp machine. Now as for the flashing apple… it does make a nice night light.
Congrats on the continued growth at Granger. Gloria and I are involved in a new church start in Rockwall TX. A new experience for us.

“If it’s black, it’s not really a Mac.”
You don’t even have the laptop and already the “creativity” is flowing through you - rhymes n’ all :-)
Enjoy it when it arrives and welcome to the switcher club.

My boss’s boss just bought a Mac
Tony Morgan, one of the Simply Strategic guys has ordered a Mac. He’s given lots of sound reasons for ordering one, but my favorite is: the slowing of male pattern baldness. If only I’d known of this secret feature years
