The screamingly nice people in the office got me this super shiokers speakers ... The Edifier iF330!! (Not to be parodied with THIS - it was VERY unintentional.) Shiok Shiok Shiok!
This is my 3rd year into Mac life. I still can't say for sure whether I love it or hate it.
Discovery
A week before I was sent to Sydney for training, I was told that I will be using a Mac because of the heritage of the company. If I recall correctly, I the thought of pulling out did cross my mind. (My boss is reading this) It's just like you are worried about how you are judged by what you wear on your first day in school ... I was feverish about how I was going to be judged by how many keyboard shortcuts I knew before I got the Command+alt+esc.
Actions
To counter that, I hid in MacPhile's room and waited for the Macphile to shower before spending a surreptitious 7 minutes learning how to navigate the windows, close files, move things to trash with only one button ... listen out for the creaking of the tap being turned off ... quickly shut all windows and return to channel surfing like an unambitious teenage slacker because MY FRAGILE WINDOWS PC PRIDE IS WORTH UPHOLDING LAH. (Yes, MacPhile is reading this too) This went on for often as MacPhile showered (An alarming total of 28 minutes in a week) until I got my own Mac.
Conclusion
It felt good to be able to thereafter Youtube surf on my own Mac pretty much like the 21st century unambitious teenage slacker. Yeah my brudder from a different mudder, that was how I learned to use the Mac yo, uh uh.
Achievements
First day of work: iBook G4
6 months: iPod Nano for Christmas
1.5th year: iBook went kaput and I was the inaugural owner of the MacBook in the office
2nd year: Speakers for my Nano.
Further Outlook
However, to fully convert me ... Mister Billy Gates & Mister Stevie Jobs, please contribute something to the MacCommunity by doing something about the pitiful Microsoft Office for Macs lah ... IT'S A JOKE hor.

From a one-time MacVirgin (upsize for you?) to another, one year into it I was convinced I needed a Mac of my own. Two and a half years into it, I'm seriously eyeing the new HP laptops with the new Windows Vista that have widgets.
Honestly, Entourage ain't got nothing on the Contacts features of Outlook.
And we all know how important it is to file one's contacts properly.
So. When you gonna get a Treo, yo?
Kiss you tomorrow when I get in the office.
hahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhah!
