When I first installed OS X I bought a package off of ebay: 10.0 full install CD and the 10.1 upgrade CD. Then a few months later I got a 10.2 upgrade CD. Was quite annoying having to install 10.0, then upgrade to 10.1, then finally upgrade to 10.2 whenever I redid my system. Thankfully OS X is so rock solid I rarely had to reinstall…

It’ll be interesting to see when Apple decided to drop the “X”. I am guessing in 2010 they will change the name to something different.

It’s really interesting to knowing others’ experience of be in touch with Apple and Macs. I can’t remember too clearly, but I’m sure it was the Mac OS9 that I first clicking around at some kind of the computers exhibition held in Taipei. It’s a long time from now. Even so, I still can’t believe either that I had a MacBook and it will be two years just for a few months.

(so if I my English is weired, I felt sorry about that… ^^”)

As for a recent switcher it was truly amazing for me to watch YouTube videos from Macworld 2000 (OS X Introduction)… That made me think… In 2007 I still used ugly, crappy and outdated Windows. Vista turned out to be a total disaster for me so I returned to use XP. But 7 years earlier there already was introduced something much, much better than anything from Microsoft even today… I almost can’t forgive myself that it took me so long to take a serious look at a Mac… So much time wasted fighting idiotic problems and using ultra-counter-intuitive UI.
So, cheers to OSX!

I too remember walking into CompUSA and seeing a G4 running Quicktime playing Shrek. I think it was a 23″ Cinema Display at the time. I was sold! I wanted one so bad but I didn’t have the money. I saved and saved until finally I could afford a Mac setup. Now, about three years later, I have a Mac Pro and MacBook. I too, have never looked back.

I was first forced to use a Mac in college for my computer graphics class in 2003. The Mac lab was mostly G3s and a couple G4s and they all ran OS9… I HATED these computers. It even became a running joke with me and my teacher. Then a year later I got a job (the one I still have) as a graphic designer, and was introduced to OS X. Once I got through the growing pains I never looked back and I’ve managed to convert a few others along the way. Now, I absolutely HATE doing anything on a PC.
