Love Note to Apple

My computer has been down. My husband has a PC Laptop and I hate it so much I find it very difficult to work. It doesn’t work properly – not like my Mac.

Having my Mac down is simultaneously like being lost and cut-off from part of myself and liberating – like being let off my leash.

I imagine it will be the same with my iPhone – which I don’t have yet, but. . .

I find my cell phone so stupidly lame that I don’t use most of its features. I know my experience with my future iPhone will be much more attached. I know I will love it like I love my Mac. I’m a little afraid to get it for fear I’ll be strapped to it and stop living a real tangible life. I think my husband and I are both willing to stop eating for two months to buy 2 iPhones.

Yesterday, I found myself watching Apple’s stock. I don’t own Mac’s stock, but if there’s a company I’m pulling for – it’s Apple.  When I heard Steve Jobs was sick, I had actual anxiety.

Why? Dude they’re inventing the next version of a book. It’s said to be like Kindle, but I know, know, know it’s going to be so much better. It will probably write books just for me based on my tastes and past book buying history. It will fit in my back pocket and last for a billion years. It will make me feel wonderful and excited and smart.

Be healthy Steve, keep the stock up.
