Mac evangelism

It has taken me this long to discover the joys of listening to podcasts. It's so convenient to download news from all the different broadcasting companies and listen to them all in one bus ride to school. (what a geek!)

The new iPod nano is absolutely drool worthy. The size, the colour screen, just the fact that it's a new gadget is enough to warrant me blowing my money on it except for the fact that I have decided to practice serial monogamy and stick to my 20GB iPod which is still less than a year old.

Having said that, I still maintain that Steve Jobs is brilliant and I think it's really sad despite the prevalence of iPods (as a fashion statement notwithstanding), people are still reluctant to switch over to using Macs, because of the "it isn't compatible with many applications" reason. Seriously, unless you're an avid gamer buying the latest releases of PC games, or you're a computing student working with unintelligible (to me) computer language, Macs have everything you need (Microsoft Office, MSN Messenger, Internet Explorer), everything you didn't think was possible to want (dashboard widgets, say-goodbye-to-multiple-MSN-conversation-windows Adium,, no-spyware-and-incredibly-stable P2P download program Acquisition), and more stability that you could possibly imagine if you're currently a PC user still battling with the demons of viruses, spyware, popups, or the fact that it's "no longer safe out there" once you venture into the bug-infested waters of the W-cube.
