Apple always seems to be the best choice, but the least utilized in the electronics department.
In college I had the privilege of working on an Apple computer. Designing newsletters and flyers was quick and easy and quite painless. But Apple was the Beta of personal computers. It was slow making its way into mainstream use, and now it’s doing the same thing with home entertainment.
When I broke down and spent real money on a personal computer, I stayed away from Apple. Even though I KNEW it was the best choice for what I wanted to do, it was not the best choice for other things I needed to do over the internet.
Now I’m moving into the family room and the Mac debate is back on. Although I know that Apple tends to make superior products, the Mac Mini just does not do it for me. Even though there is a way to make a Mac my home entertainment center, I’m not sure I want to go to the hassle or experience.
Apple hit it big with the iPod and the iPhone. Even the personal computers are making it into the mainstream. Now Apple only has to meet my family room needs and I might finally be happy.
