HI, I'm a mac

I have had my black macbook since october of 2006. I started using macs because the internet in the house I was renting didn't work how I needed it to, and the closest computer lab near me was all imacs. I learned how to use them and decided that the next computer I bought was going to be a mac. When I bought my mac, I had only a couple of hundred dollars in my bank account. I spent an entire paycheck on the first part of the bill and put the rest on a credit card. For a while I didn't have the internet on it, because I was living with my brother and we didn't have internet or cable tv for that matter. 

Now that I have learned more and more how to use a mac, I like them even better. All the shortcuts they have for the browsers and the operating systems are great. They pick up wireless signals automatically, and all the anti-mac commercials on TV are funny to me. What kind of person goes around buying a computer on the basis that it has a big screen? If that was important, you would learn how to use your tv screen to compute things. I barely even use full sized windows anymore, the window I have open now takes up about 3/4 of the overall screen and I have four tabs open in my browser. The worst downside to a macbook is the battery life. After about half an hour, my macbook is hurting and wants to shut down to prolong itself. 

In unrelated news, I think my favorite non-radio song from only by the night is crawl.

  1. I told you! "Crawl" and "Closer" are the good songs. I always keep my mac plugged into the charger. That way it never goes dead:-)
