MacWorld 2009

I was there. My very first MacWorld. Then again, this was the very first time I actually had a Mac to call my own.

I’ve always been a PC person - it wasn’t so much a conscious or exclusive decision, I simply just defaulted to Windows. Then I spent a weekend on a computer running Leopard and that pushed me over the edge. After semesters of classes surrounded my Macs, being hounded my Apple friends, I had now finally “seen the light”. So a couple months ago I picked up a new MacBook Pro and I LOVE it.

I can now say I’m well-versed in the Apple OS in addition to Windows. I even installed Vista on my Mac, just so I can rock it when necessary. It’s the integration of everything on Leopard that I love so much about it, it just makes daily computering so much smoother. Anyway, Macworld…

It was a pretty cool experience. Lots of vendors, lots of products, lots of nerds. I watchd the keynote and although it was somewhat bland compared to keynotes past, I am pretty excited about the new ILife 09. This was the last MacWorld that Apple will be a part of - and that’s understandable considering the trade show is a pretty minor aspect of how they reach customers nowadays. But I’m sure they will be missed at future MacWorld expos and I’m glad I got to attend this year’s event.
