I've always liked Apple since I was a kid in school and got to use Apple ][ computers. Apple was always trying to appeal to us with easy and fun user interfaces. They have also always come at a premium, unless of course you were a school, in which case you usually got a nice discount. After using Apple computers in elementary and more modern ones in High School, I switched gears a little in college and found out about PCs. Computers being used in the business world. I've pretty much continued down its path for many years and yet always had a fondness for what ideas were coming out of Cupertino. A few years back, I got really interested in emulating or running natively, the Apple OS on my PCs and since then I have kept a closer eye on Apple. Not too long ago, I picked up a 3rd gen iPod Touch and realized just how good Apple was doing with that premium hardware these days. The chrome casing, glass touch screen, it screamed quality and style and was powerful. It instantly replaced my Zune. I liked it so much that I started thinking maybe a bigger version of it would be that much nicer. In between there I started testing a netbook we now come to call the forerunner to the Chromebooks, the Cr-48. it too felt solid and clean but when I started using my iPad 2, the Cr-48 took a back seat. I still use it off-and-on but not like I had been. Apple struck another blow. Keep in mind, I'm a network engineer and computer enthusiast so I love hacking electronics. I couldn't wait to jailbreak the iPod, which I did and have done since with each software upgrade, but I also jailbroke my iPad 2 and my most recent Apple invader, the Apple TV 2 as soon as I was able to. Today, 2 days after the Apple TV 2 arrived, I convinced Jodi to get us both iPhone 3GS cell phones when we renewed our AT&T contract. Apple is truly invading our home. As much as I don't want a data plan, I want the elegance and quality, as well as the user interface I enjoy in my personal cell phone. With some coaxing, Jodi agreed (she needed an add-on physical keyboard). So soon, Jarvis, PADD, and Apple-TV (thinking of renaming it "View-Screen") will be joined by 2 new iDevices which will also get creative names and will further strengthen Apple's foothold on this PC guy's electronic territory. For once, I welcome an invasion.
