And I didn't mean to. At first, it just started with my roommate buying a PowerBook and telling me how awesome it was. I was dubious about laptops and about Macs, 'cause I hated everything before OSX. I don't know why I hated it exactly, but I didn't like how it felt, and at that point I was a hardware build-it-yourself type which wasn't really all that macesque.

Anyway, I started doing some website coding with my friends, and they all had the new MacBook Pros (right when they came out), so I bought myself one. Then I realized that laptops were awesome (mostly so I could mess around on them, code, whatever, while watching TV or sitting in the living room, flying, etc.) I didn't think it would be awesome, but it was. Also, I like OSX. I really liked Debian when I ran it for a while, and having a terminal is strangely comforting. That was my first Apple purchase.

I then got an iPod Nano. I didn't buy it; I won it at a christmas gambling party. I thought iPods were stupid honestly, but it grew on me (especially while snowboarding). I think after that, it was the iPhone (it was the first cell phone / plan I was willing to spend money on, before that, I didn't really use or like cell phones). Then I decided to go with the whole AppleTV thing to make my all my videos digital, which in turn resulted in me getting the Apple Extreme for attaching a large harddrive to the network and having a happy 802.11n household that would be all compatible since it was all apple right? Not really. I had to manually install a 802.11n card in my MacBook Pro to get it to stream to the AppleTV right. Guess what, no more repairs from apple (offically) since I had modified the MacBook Pro (jerks). Anyway it is all working. Then I got Elly a MacBook Air when it came out (so I could use it when traveling or whatever, and she could use it at home). Did I mention she has an iPhone too? See what I mean? I didn't mean for it to happen, it just did.
