It all began quite innocently. Last year I was doing a lot of travelling by train and I needed something to blast music into my ears, and I got an iPod Nano. That’s right, me, the dude who has been using Wintel machines for years got a bit of, albeit, consumer-related, Apple kit. And now, from that innocent Apple-related purchase I have now gone out and got a black MacBook. Yes folks, not the white one, but the uber-cool black one (which has the added benefit that the dirt doesn’t show up as easily). Of course, now that Apple have bumped the specs of their notebooks my local premier reseller was offering the old models at an exceptionally discounted price, and so were also the AppleCare and memory upgrade… the icing on the cake was it was also iDays at the store so I got a €100 gift voucher too.

So, what am I going to do with my new MacBook? Probably spend weeks getting used to OS X, which is a tad different from Windows and Genoo/Linux which are my usual environments :-) Eventually I plan to start developing software for the mac, so stay tuned to see what happens.
