“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” ~ Steve Jobs

            My first computer was a Macintosh Classic, following by a Mac II. I've owned Power Mac towers, 2 mac minis, a Powerbook (just like Carrie Bradshaw's ;D) an ibook, a Macbook Pro and am now contemplating my second iMac.  

However, the iPod was the device that made the rest of the world catch Apple fever.  Funnily enough, I've only owned one, a clunky iPod "classic", which still works even though it has gone sailing through the air and crashed on the floor countless times at the gym. 

People who know me, know I will not line up for anything, not a movie, brunch... no way, I'm out of there.

But last July, the Mr. and I lined up for 5 1/2 hours for the iphone 4.

I love the silly thing. 

And, when I am out and check my email and get back to a client, when I find myself leaving on a trip and not having to take my laptop, when I read my flickr comments and look at your photos at the gym and realize an hour has gone by on the treadmill, even when I find myself "researching" tips for clearing the next level on "Angry Birds"... well, I have to admit, that even though I have been an Apple devotee for so many years, that little phone has changed my world.

RIP Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011
