I’m changing my primary platform from PC to MAC, and will talk about my transition here on my blog. I’m also going to learn to code for the Apple platform, specifically for the iPhone. I have about 8 ideas for applications. Since I’m pretty much unskilled in the area of coding [I can direct a team, but can't code for beans], I’m going to learn from nothing to something. I’m an old-school HTML coder for websites, and can do my own graphics, so that will come in handy, but it is an entirely new platform. I’ll put it this way… the last time I used a Mac… it was called an Apple IIe. Bang! I said it. If you can do the math, you can date me without cutting me in half and counting the rings. I don’t want to talk about it. Moving on.
Since purchasing the iPhone, I’ve come to realize the PC platform is in a sad shape of complacency. Nothing truly revolutionary in form or function, especially not in the user interface has come down the pipe since Windows was originally launched. The Apple platform has changed shape and functionality at its core level. Becoming smaller, and now, even focusing on battery life and longevity [even if their motto appears to be "New Every Year!"] which means the Mac Pro laptop I just got is going to stay with me for a long time. If it doesn’t, the value will remain at a higher point than the PC market. I’m forced to sell my Tablet PC for around half the price I purchased it at even though it is in like new condition and I still have the box it came in. And just a year older. The Mac market holds its value around 80-90% from retail.
I might even sell my desktop. It is a huge DELL XPS 600 that I’ve had for nearly 5 years. It is stable, and hasn’t needed a restoration until I installed the BETA version of Windows 7. Which, thankfully, I can now cancel the order of from Amazon. I think I’ll go do that right now.
