Why a Mac?
From the unboxing to the first time the plastic wrapping seal is broken.

Your hands caressing affectionately its fully aluminum body, feeling the texture while admiring the build quality at the same time.
At one point, I was just gazing at it and mumble to myself, "This is it!", perfection in action, downright to the first time you tap on the On button.
With that single On button, one way or another, everyone of us are connected regardless of our religion, colour, creed, nationality, political standings or even personal background.
One for all and all for one, the welcome page that connects us all.


There is no other way to replace the Mac experience but to make that journey yourself.
From the countless times I've been to the Apple stores to check the products out, the endless wait for a truly perfect one, and the accessories you planned to pair with your Mac, it is not just about buying over the counter but its the Mac experience that counts.

My Mac and I have made a pilgrimage of sorts and I'm a convert!

To the saying of,
"Once you go Mac you never go back."
I definitely haven't look back, ever since my first iPod Video U2 Special Edition.


and to the saying of Appleism,
Jobs is my god,
Apple is my religion,
and Apple Stores are my temple and shrines.

If there's a chance, Jobs god willing, the Mecca pilgrimage of sorts MacWorld, would definitely be on my bucket list.
