My wife is not a big computer user, she thinks I’m a geek that spends way too much time on a PC I guess I do spend a bit of time, however what she fails to realize and in fact what the average person does fail as well is that there are many variances of what a “geek” is. My geek-ness barely scratches the surface.

Being married to me “aka the Geek husband” means she is surrounded by gadgets and electronic devices. Most of them work and then is the pile that used to work but no longer do.

I’m not sure if my wife ever used a PC before I

Blogs are great because you can just make up words like “MAC-u-cating”, it really means duplicating.

Going Mac meant I had to duplicate my old PC working environment, it’s almost a joke to try to class a PC desktop as an actual working environment against what I now have on the Mac. This Macbook is just a dream, what a machine!.
I look at my old 15” 1024 X 768 Compaq Evo Laptop, where I spent countless hours doing everything I could on it and now the Macbook Pro 17” widescreen  1680 X 1050 display, wow there is no true comparison.

Firing up the Macbook Pro for the very first time was really exciting, so exciting I even took photos and later posted them on my own blog. That’s almost a sad thing to do, but hey I wasn’t the only one that did this sort of thing, in my quest to up skill for the up and coming Mac I noticed some really sadder people videoed their first Mac experience and upload on to YouTube.

After the initial “please put your details in”, it booted through and asked to connect into my works wireless network. In goes the password and bang; I’m up on the net to do its f

It's a question I seem to be getting asked by many of my PC friends (or is that my now PC 'fiends').
I just say, "why not go Mac" then they give me 100 million reasons why a PC is better than a Mac, how much cheaper it is, which is quite amusing because it's a one sided viewpoint; as I know they have never used a Mac in their life or realise it’s true value!
So why did I go Mac and not go PC?
It came down to me wanting a new laptop with $2K in my back pocket ready to spend. I knew Macs were around but didn’t consider buying one until the

I've been a Windows PC user since 3.11 (or was that 3.1), I can honestly say I know alot about PCs, been there done that had the BSOD many many times. I will also make it clear that I do not claim to be any PC guru (There is always somebody else smarter)

I survived through Win 95, 98, 98se, Nt, Me, 2K, XP and gave up once they rolled out Vista.

Now i'm a mac user, I had used one before briefly about 5 years ago when I was working for a Wgtn office of Tech Rentals NZ. They had all the toys and we could play with anything we liked. Used to take home a Titanium powerbook j
