What does a MacBook Pro and a Porsche have in Common?

The first computers I ever had to use and work on, many years ago, were IBMs. That was when you had to use DOS for everything. Whenever anything went wrong, it was a major problem. As, the years went on and I continued working for companies doing things like CRT data entry, I had to keep working on PC'S. I remember working on a few Dells and Gateways that were getting faster but still very stale, impersonal and very, very prone to viruses and crashes. To be honest, I kind of think the acronym 'PC' should stand for 'Pathetic Computers' or "Pieces of CaCa"! (Sorry PC users, nothing personal. But you really should consider crossing over. They say once you go Mac, you never go back.) :)

O.K. enough PC bashing... Moving on, I eventually started looking around to figure out what I wanted to do in life, other than data entry on a PC. I took a career interest aptitude test that told me that 'desktop publishing' (nowadays commonly referred to as graphic design) was a career I should check out. So, I promptly registered for a class at the local community college. They had Macs in the classroom! I sat in one class playing with these Macintosh computers and software and absolutely fell in love! That was way back when they had the classics which are like 'collectibles' now. They certainly didn't have anything like the MacBook Pro 17 they have now! Still, I loved those little computers as do most people who become mac users. They didn't have viruses, you could personalize your whole interface with your mac, make it an extension of 'you'. You could work from your desktop, click on icons, change file names that way and so much more! Of course Windows has followed suit now but they are always 'behind' Apple in innovation, speed and cutting edge technology. Apple dominates hands down in the multimedia world! I would know, multimedia was my sole profession for well over a decade. (I am a degreed graphic designer, web designer and have managed several pre-press departments over the years. I've also owned and operated my own multimedia corporation for over 10 yrs.) I say this to tell you 'hands down' that apple products like the MacBook Pro 17 are bar none the BEST available on the market!

Macs are the Porsches of computers. They have the sleek sophistication, class, personality and looks. They also have all the bells and whistles. Lets not forget whats under the hood! Vroooommmmm!!! :) Let me put it this way, strap on your 3-point harness folks, this baby MOVES!!! She isn't cheap, but then neither is a Porsche. However, this is very gas economical! :) So put your Porsche away, and jump in the drivers seat of one of these mean machines , and take her for a spin. You can take one for a test drive at any local apple store. (I see apple stores in a lot of malls and stop in to play often.)

You'll never look back! :)
