The Mac

Today was my first substantial experience with an Apple Mac (OS X, to be specific). And I have to say, I think I like. Sure, the one mouse button is annoying, but the interface sure is purdy. It has style and grace, a good blend of art and technology. The system seems to be more user-friendly, less reliant on technical knowledge, and overall less IBM-ey. You see, even as an IT student, I am not very tech. Start talking to me about computer technology and watch my eyes glaze over. I'm interested more in what computers can do, not how they do it or the computers themselves. Given this, and my so far very limited experience, I'm liking the way the Mac does things.

Just take this Quicktime movie trailer as an example. Would the powerful emotion and drama of Jack Nicholson's performance carry over in another movie player? Well, would it?!
