I got myself an Apple PowerBook G4 early last year which was my first ever Mac. Having been a Windows user almost my entire life (with a tad of Linux here and there), I never thought it would change my web-browsing experience forever. Just like Windows XP has Internet Explorer as their default web browser, Mac OS X has Safari (since v10.3). Initial impressions were fairly inconclusive, as I was so used to Internet Explorer. Over time however, I grew more and more accustomed to it, especially with the inclusion of ‘tabbed browsing’.

The first time I walked into the Apple Store on Regent Street in London back in January 2005, I was awestruck. Never have I walked into a computer store that was so un-techie-like, I thought I had walked into a posh designer label store. Each subsequent visit from then on was like a new exciting adventure; I was impressed the whole store, its architecture and design, the staff and how they operate. I couldn’t afford anything there of course, but nothing beats actually being there surrounded by other Mac enthuthiasts.

If that wasn’t enough, 10 60Gb iPods and one $10,000 iTunes Music Card. And all 16-year old Alex Ostrovsky from Michigan did was download a song he purchased with his mum’s credit card from the iTunes Music store.

Did I forget to mention that he happened to be the one billionth downloader as well? No? Well there you go.
