My First Mac

I have been a PC user for all my life. Right from the early days of monochrome monitors to the current high definition displays. The 21st century has been all about the resurgence of Apple as a player in the computer industry and beyond. My first Apple purchase was the 30GB iPod Video Classic. I bought this thing a few weeks after it was introduced. Still have it and love it. It hooks on really easily to any big screen TV or heavy duty music system. 

A friend of mine had a Mac Book and I remember using it the first time. Great graphics, photos looked fantastic, and the layout was very user friendly. Everything about Apple is appealing; it always has been. More so now with the boom of portable devices at the turn of the decade. I needed to jump on the Apple train. I needed to get a Mac, my first one. And I did.

My Tech Possessions

I have to mention a list of the stuff I own. So here it is...

1. Computers
320 GB Mac Mini 2.4 2010 (Living Room)
Sony Vaio VGN-C140G running Windows 7 32-bit (Work PC)
HP ze2000 running Windows XP Home (Miscellaneous use)

Why Blog? My first entry...

Hello. This is C-Rod and this is my first blog. Hopefully I'll still find the enthusiasm to keep blogging. So here goes...

My professional career has nothing to do with Technology. I am in the Medical field. However, growing up I often saw myself being in the IT sector professionally. Although I don't have any regrets on my choice of a profession, I have always been a geek at heart. One of my favorite hobbies? Keeping up with the latest and greatest news in the technology world. I love visiting CNET.com for example; like their reviews very much. They often influence a lot of my buying decisions, which brings me to why publish a blog.
