Subject: The most amazing computer I’ve ever used

I’m a computer science major at Rutgers University. I have 6 years
experience programming in languages like C++, Perl, Java, and BASIC.
When I started school I wanted a laptop I could bring around campus and
bring home and do my work anywhere I wanted. Windows laptops were far
overpriced in terms of what you got. I wanted a computer that could
compile fast, but also play the occasional game and act as a portable
jukebox as well.

As I was doing my research on which laptop to buy, I stumbled across the
PowerBook G4. I fell in love. The wide screen (great for playing DVDs in
a dorm room), the speed of the G4 processor, the quality that is
inherent with a Apple computer. As I started to see people using
PowerBooks at BSD conventions, Unix user groups, and mentions of IT
professionals using the PowerBook G4, I decided to take a road trip to
the Apple store in NJ.

After seeing how light it was and just seeing how well built it was, I
had to have one. I bought one right there, and after my first year with
it, I can honestly say, it’s the most amazing computer I’ve ever used. I
can do anything with it. Apple and their amazing products, and truly
amazing OS X, have helped me raise my programming from work to an
artform.
