one of them, one of them. (apple talk, of the non-edible variety.)

Posted by b. (aka starrynit) May 2 '12, 17:06

I think my boss, who is a big Apple fan who admits to drinking the kool-aid, is not-so-subtlely trying to convert me.

first he gave me his original work iPad, and now I'm in possession of the iPhone (I think it's a 4) that was used by someone who recently left the company. (my BlackBerry is at death's door, and I was on the verge of getting something to replace it.) we saved a cancellation cost, and I should still be able to upgrade to a new whatever before too too long.

he's suggested I get a Macbook for work (only a handful of people here do, and there are ongoing issues with them and our networks and such); but I just laugh and say no. (unless I get a handmedown?? ;p)

signed,
b., formerly i-product free, and now with 2?!

they are about to introduce the line of overhauled MacBooks at WWDC in June (it is rumored) so it's a good time to either wait and see or get an older - pixitude May 2, 17:09 1

Stick with the iPhone and iPad. Single click is the devil. -- nm - David May 2, 17:07 10

    - I hate the way they feel. But they're gone anyway. It's all about touch now -- nm - Guigue May 2, 17:16
  - with the new multi-touch trackpads on the laptops, it's not even an issue -- nm - pixitude May 2, 17:13 2
    - I have so many multitouch macros set up ... I'd be lost without them. And single-touch is unconscionable. -- nm - Beryllium May 2, 17:30
    - Anyways I use a fully supported 9 button logitech mouse and it works fine - Guigue May 2, 17:14
