Massive brainfart, it's not even funny.

First, in light of the loving season, here is my response to my friend's away message which stated, "If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?" Here we go, I IM'd her:

love is blind because people don't see it as love anymore, they mistake it for lust. some couples will ridicule the "i love you" saying when they really should be saying "i lust you".

I'll accept any reactions to this response, just email me at joshgumbi@sbcglobal.net

Anyway, with that out of the way, I may continue with that after I release my opinions on Macitosh Vs. Windows.

Being bombarded with Macbooks where ever I go, you think I would jump on the wagon and get myself a nice, black-covered Macbook with all the trimmings of a great designer or producer...or whatever you could possibly put Windows to shame with. The great design, the flexible, the weight, and the fact that errors are a thing of the past seem to coat this technology with what computer user's want and need. OH HELL YES! But wait, I weep and find myself a certain so many dollars thinner because I spent money on what I didn't really need to get. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Yes, believe that way, but...YES, there is a but...if you broke it, you shouldn't be using it.

Noticing from even my work environment, computer user's are very impatient, unless your Mr. Slowski from the Comcast commercial. I admit, I'm a bit impatient sometimes when I find myself waiting for a certain Windows box to close because it no longer wishes to do what I want it to. But in time, software will develop bugs that come from your constant clicking of keyboard keys or right-clicking the mouse button. All I say is..."GEEZ, relax." Everytime you see the (Not Responding) in the Title bar of your application, usually Firefox, it is just thinking still. If you don't want to wait, restart your computer. By the way, if you find yourself waiting for your Windows computer to stop thinking, YOU PUT TOO MUCH SOFTWARE or JUNK on it. In this world, there's unlimited hard drive space, TRUE, but damn, you have no idea what RAM is, so you neglect the fact that the RAM can't take all your impatience. Guess what, your PC is fighting with you because you've fed it so much, it wants to recycle all it's contents.

You're in luck, PCs and Macs have bestfriends. They're called EXTERNAL HDs. Use them and abuse them, they don't care. PC users, the solution to your computer woes is not spending so much money and buying a Mac. Unless you're using Windows PCs, such as Toshiba, Compaq, Gateway laptops, from my experience, these brands are worth crap in the long run. It's made so you need to buy a new laptop every couple of years. Macbooks, from what I see, damn, the battery is like non-existent. It's like the macbook is powered by the electrons in the air. My point is, the battery does not deteriorate. True with that fact, but what about the business laptops that go flying around the world. Probably hard to prove my point because no one I know uses a Macbook for business trips. Here's a chart:

So, as you could see, if you're more on the non-technical side of software, feel free to use a Mac. As for free-lance software developers, from reading other articles, Apple seizes the use of developing your own software applications. I could be completely wrong.

In conclusion, would I buy an Apple computer in the near future, I'm still on the No side. Why? Because it's not necessary. It's like me buying an Xbox 360. Was it necessary? Sort of. If I wanted to play Halo 3 at home or Call of Duty 4 at home, then yes, it's necessary. It's a great investment that I use daily. Would I use my Macbook daily, not likely because I'm satisfied with my HP 7250 desktop computer with Video Media technology.

To all my Apple user friends, Paulo, Gerstein, Donnell, Camille, Alexis, Alan, Chris...I have so many resources of using a Macbook, so why buy my own.
