Andy Rasking just bought a new computer, a G4 Powerbook from Apple to be exact, and he posted about it on the Business 2.0 blog. I’d like to quote a few lines here as I totally agree. Unexplainable, but true:
First, I typed the lead sentence of my nextBusiness 2.0 story in a Word document on a Vaio running XP. Then I typed the same sentence in a Word document on a PowerBook running OS X. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the genius of Steve Jobs: The sentence looked cooler, weightier, hipper, more worth paying attention to — on the PowerBook. Writers and other creative artists know that this cannot be explained rationally. It just is, and it’s worth money.
So there you have it, I am weird. On a side note, I tried out WordPress, a blogging tool which Russel Beattie posted about, yesterday and it does feel nice. Really. If you are looking for a blogging tool, check it out.
