I remember when, in my first year of college, the internet and email first came out. (Yes, I know I'm dating myself!) Computers had been a part of my life for years up until then, but other than using it to type the occassional term paper, I didn't use them much. I even learned to type on a good old typewriter. I didn't know what to do with the internet, and back then there wasn't much you could do with it. And email seemed useless to me -- obviously I was wrong -- but then I still have a love-hate relationship with it. The first computer I bought was a Gateway, which also doesn't exist anymore. And I've owned two Dell laptops after that.
Okay, okay, I'll get to the point. I never would have considered a Mac computer either (it was ingrained in me) until the iPhone came out. I got one in 2008 and fell in love with it. For over 2 years, I've endured Matt making fun of the iPhone. I considered getting a Mac laptop, but was convinced not to (much to my regret as I've dealt with my annoyingly slow Dell laptop for the last 2 years). But then, that all changed when I bought the iPad 2 last spring. Of course, I got the usual harassment from my man... that is, until he used it and then I rarely saw it anymore. Now, we signed up for our AT&T Family Plan, and Matt is getting his iPhone 4S. And 4 days ago, we became the proud new owners of an iMac. It's a beautiful machine.
Oh, how things change. We're a Mac family now. I just hope that my dad and brother don't disown me.
