Drooling over Titanium
Apple Titanium PowerBook G4I was excited this afternoon to read that Jason Kottke wants a Macintosh, because I’m also being swayed by that beautiful machine and that elegant operating system, the one that isn’t Windows XP. (Am I the only one who has a violent physical reaction now when I hear Madonna’s “Ray of Light”?) Getting that Titanium PowerBook would be like coming home for me—I used Macs exclusively for 15 years before I grudgingly converted to Windows two years ago. It sounds like Jason suffered through a lot of the same things that I definitely don’t miss about my experiences with Macs, and if he’s willing to give Apple another chance, maybe I should, too.
But if a corporate sponsor doesn’t spot him a TiBook—and if I can’t scrape up the cash to pick one up myself—at least there are alternate operating systems to consider.
