I'm NOT a PC


Hello again - its me, Eve. I introduced myself back in July and told you about my infatuation with Adam. He is still dreaming about a MacBook, and I am still enjoying my writing and online publishing with a little piece of Apple heaven. Do I sound like I'm gloating? hope not. It's just that I've been so happy with my purchase of a MacBook notebook earlier this year. Things are so much faster and easier - and fun with my Mac!

I hope I don't sound like a commercial, but the features of the Macbook are nothing short of amazing. My Apple is so fast with its Intel Core 2 Duo processors, and has a ton of memory (2GB is standard!) I love the built in AirPort Extreme, allowing me to get wi-fi connected in so many places. I am sitting in a coffee shop right now, enjoying a strong cup while I blog away... When I'm not writing, I use my Macbook to edit photos with its amazing iPhoto applications. With a few clicks here and there, I can adjust exposure, straighten out a crooked shot and deepen colors. I feel like a professional! Oh, and don't get me started about the ease of uploading new songs to my iPod. When I'm not writing or blogging, you'll find me running - my favorite form of exercise. Its hard to log the miles without some energizing tunes.

As an author at Wikipedia, I am finding it much easier to publish articles ("wikkies") with my new Mac than with my old PC. Finding and uploading photos and videos is so slick. With the speed and memory of the Macbook, I have been able to download lots of new plug-ins for my ISP (thanks for all the tips, Adam!), which help with promotion of my articles. But maybe I like the Mac OS X Leopard the best. I can search across all applications on my laptop at once. Much slicker than Windows Vista. Lots of cool features with Leopard make my time using my Mac "wildly" productive (please excuse the pun).

Finally, there is the cool factor. Macs just rule! Looking around the coffee shop, I see several envious patrons eyeing my laptop. Not to mention poor Adam across the pond in London! I'd better get back to doing my "real" work now... I'll post more about my awesome Macbook later!

Sunny Sunday, when my 'Apple MacBook dream' is finally admitted and written

It is quite plain. I simply don't have enough money to buy a new computer, especially Apple MacBook with bigger screen, which is my great dream for quite a loooong time.
Just guess, what happened last week?
I've got a perfect chance to get an apprenticeship in Manchester or in Melbourne, Australia with some of the best guys in the Internet marketing (IM) department in the entire world (Thirty Day Challenge 2008), but I lost a chance, because I didn't have an Apple computer to communicate with them. It was also clearly written in their conditions:

'There will be a lot of admin type work and you will need to know your way around a Mac (notice that I said Mac) if your applying for the position and want to work remotely - a mac with leopard is a must - we live on iChat!'

I lost a chance to obtain 'the knowledge' to become a truly financially independent man. I need to admit, that I still feel very sad and 'put down', even though some days had already passed by.
I can just 'pray', there will be another chance for me in near future, again and that I am going to be better off, next time, to be a proud owner of a piece of shinning technological miracle, called Apple MacBook or anything similar. Laptop is much more mobile than desktop and if they call me to move to Manchester or to Melbourne, I could go next hour, really. (Just to grab a few pants, socks, T-shirts, trousers and a LAPTOP and I am already rushing for a bus/train, etc...)

P.S.
Ups, I almost forgot to mention names of those Internet marketing experts: Ed Dale and Dan Raine and their team, whose moto is: 'All Flocked Up Flock The New Web 20 Browser'

P.P.S.
Ups, ups, I also like to make some promotion for: green movements, stop extensive pollution, planting new trees, renewable energy, wind, geothermal, solar power with solar panels, solar shingles and heat collectors. I have a few friends, who are quite active on the topic of different environmental issues, and I am going to support them in their positive efforts of saving our precious environment. My apple macbook dream was also additionally spiced up by issues of global warming and climate changes. I want to use Apple Leopard operating system to be as creative as possible and to achieve as high working results as possible at given power consumption. We simply need to rescue our animal species, birds, fish, London Honey Bee, oceans, fresh air, wide, wild forests and fantastic holidays resorts and coral reefs as is this exotic dream: Mauritius island, to name just one out of very many.
