Here's a bit of history for ya:

March '00: At Webb, Mel sees a freshman playing on a Mac in the dorms. Mel points and laughs.

January '04: Mel sees Punk Josh listening to his iPod at the commons.

February '04: Mel sees a life-size iPod mini ad in a Cosmo magazine.

March '04: Mel buys a silver iPod mini for his birthday.

Summer '04: Mel sells his iPod mini and buys a bigger iPod.

October '04: Mel's trusted, like-minded, computer-proficient friend, Sherwin, proclaims how he'll "never go back to PC."

All of '05: Mel makes frequent visits to the Apple Store to check out the latest Macs. Mel wants to touch himself.

October '06: Mel is still running on this:

December '06: Mel switches to this:

Sexy, eh?

It's not all about looks though. With my new MacBook Pro, I can:

• Work faster

• Travel back in time.

• Still run Windows with a simple click of the mouse (or smack of the computer).

• Be cool like Tom Cruise.

• Save the world like Jeff Goldblum.

• Enjoy my digital life, virus-free.

(Don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to convert you to Mac. My best advice is to just stick with what the people around you are using. If you're an engineer and all of your peers use a PC, then get a PC. If you're a graphics designer and all of your co-workers have a Mac, get a Mac. I do everything on the web, so it really doesn't matter what kind of computer I have.)

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna make some retarded faces with my Mac's built-in camera.
