I was an Apple Fanboy

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

On Tuesday I had lunch with Pete Warden who besides sharing my frustrations with Outlook, has actually built some cool stuff working towards a better way.

We also talked about the resurgence of Apple since he started working there, and I confessed that in my youth I had been the biggest Apple fanboy.

Here is photographic proof of one manifestation: A Members Only™ Jacket that I had the Apple logo embroidered on. Tara did a full post about it last year.

Apparently I have grown a little bit since then! And good thing that my Mom sewed my name and phone number inside.

I take a lot of flack for not switching back to Macs now, but that’s a subject for a longer post. For now, the Ferrari keeps puttering along.

Last week we got an email from Gwen and Paul of Plunge Artist Design that they couldn’t make our meeting because their house burned down. Incredible.

Paul was by the office today and showed us some incredible pictures.

So what does a MacBook look like when it’s been through a 600+ degree fire?

Notice the Apple logo still visible in the center.
