I know I must have disappeared into thin air for ages! Sorry about that folks. Just been incredibly tied up to be watching much drama and getting online.
However today, I am proudly typing my first blog piece here with my new MacPro. Okie okie...I know Apple isnt known to be a serious reliable gadget maker but seriously what choices do I have? IBM has been taken over by China on the laptop side to become Lenova and I will NOT buy that. Sony is a little too you know.."unsharing" in terms of their technology and difficult to get external parties to service it due to their unique parts. What is left is HP. Do I really want to suffer under a major MNC in return for a boring piece of metal and screen? Nah, not really. If I am going to be upset, let it be with a beautiful slim slick piece of aluminium.
Everyone been telling me that I do not need Antivirus and Anti spyware for MAC because no one ever hack into one. I have to disagree on it. Just because you never get robbed at home or you are living in a safe neighbourhood doesnt mean you do not need to lock the doors... Or that you dont need to ever need a medical insurance because you aint sick. Seriously, its very very dangerous to leave your PC online and wide open to invasion...
I havent bought mine and still mulling over if I should buy Eset or Norton for Mac. Anyone out there has any ideas?
Regardless, I just wanted to compliment Apple today too. I bought my MacPro online but the power plug came in the US adaptor format. Didnt quite get the rationale since the purchase was done over the HK website. So I called to politely enquire if there had been a mistake. I was first routed to the US Apple care hotline. I am telling you, it is like a breath of fresh air, to FINALLY have a true blue authentic US centric call center. To be honest, I have been so accustomed to getting lines routed to China like what Dell and others did, that it took me 30secs to recover from the pleasant surprise! Ha! Of course they had to route me back to hong Kong to check my order. Even better surprise. Apparently, they seem to only ship this out in 2pin plug and so in goodwill, they will send me a world travel kit. Talk about fantastic customer service! I was truly impressed and even happier that they resolved a simple question with an immediate solution rather than just tell me too bad.
The point here isnt that I am happy to get something free, but rather, I was elated over the prompt and consumer focused service. I havent had that for a while dealing with big companies, so it was kind of like dream like.
I felt like I just had to share my very positive experience with Apple. So now with this world traveler kit, I no longer have to deal with cumbersome third party plugs for all my i-gadgets. Iphone, Ipod, Inano, Mac Pro my next trip back home to Oz. I am just short of one ipad2...still thinking about it but probably not.
Sorry this is not related to Drama, just me catching up with myself online and for couple of dramamate here who might care to know what this little blogger is doing:)
Hope everyone else is fine apart from busy!
With this laptop, hopefully watching video and blogging will be more of a breeze from now on! Though I must say it will still take a while to get use to the key boards and navigation functions:P
