Recently converted. Now belong to the Church of Mac!!

I guess I never blogged about it. Did I? Well I bought a new MacBook this Feb. The new one. The specs are 2 GHZ Core 2 duo, 2 GB RAM, nVidia GeForce 9400M and DVD RW. Indian price was a bit on the higher side compared to other notebooks of similar configuration. However lets not forget its a Mac. The a$$hole at the local Imagine shop suggested installing Windows Vista and MS office. I dont understand why would anyone want to use Microsoft on a Mac. Microsoft is the only reason people switch form all other hardware vendors to Apple. The guy, without my permission was trying to install Microsoft office (Mac version). I had to explain him that Microsoft was the very reason I was buying this expensive beauty instead of a Dell or HP. Well you might suggest using OpenSource or in other words Linux as an alternative. But lets be honest how many people find proper drivers to use all the hardware properly on Linux. I wasa big fan of Lnux. I’m still a fan of the Tux. However for someone who is looking for a little Moive, browsing and occaisional Blogging its not worth the trouble. So here I’m writting this post on my MacBook, with a smile.

Good old melodies..

Music.. Never thought of anything other than Rock in last couple of years. Its been only Rock. I’ve become an ardent fan without my own knowledge. Listening to stuff like Led Zep all the time. My iPod 160 GB classic (Silver), which I’m really proud of has close to 25 gig of bootleg Rock music. Ohh not all.. I bought some of em.. I never listen to music on my phone(iPhone 2g) though. I rarely look at my iPod app in my phone. Recently my roomie a big fan of iPhone took my phone and synced it to his iTunes album with a good mix of Hindi songs and some good old melodies like Roxxette. I’d no knowledge of this secret operation. And then suddenly today when my iPod’s battery truned red after playing for more than 30 hours, I had to use my phone for feeding my ears. And it was an eye opener. While I cannot give up Rock, its really been a long time since I last listened to Briyan Adams, one of my long time favs in college days. Also found songs from t.A.T.u., Duran Duran, Madonna, Mandy Moore and Belind Carlisle. I couldn’t believe my eyes the way they were organised with proper Album art and the way you can scroll/flip/touch them using coverflow really made me smile. Some of it sound a bit gay.. I mean when did you last listen to some tunes from the movie Kasoor. Haven’t watched the movie myself, but I would say the songs were beautiful. I found one today. [GRIN] Also found sound tracks from some of my favourite movies like the Rocky series and Top Gun. Suddenly a feeling of happines has come over me in the midst of all these depressing news/stories around, reminding of the good old college days. I miss those days.
