My Apple Wishlist

I've had Macs since 1987. I remember being an assistant in 1988 at a lab in my University that taught Excel and Word in Macs (released for Mac in 1985 and for Windows in 1987) when Windows was mostly unknown and people had to use codes to format text in Word Processors.

In more recent events, I downloaded iTunes the day it was released, but patiently waited to get a revised first generation iPod, just because I knew Apple releases improved products quickly.


If I had followed that trend, I would have purchased an iPhone a long time ago. But my strong negative sentiments against ATT prevented me to do so, and have since been patiently waiting for the iPhone to be released with another carrier, preferably with my current one, T-Mobile. I've thought of getting and iPod Touch, but then again, it has some disadvantages, its not of much use if you don't have a Wi-Fi network at hand.

So I've stuck with my Video iPod which has given me hours and hours of company with great music for at least 3 years and don't have a clue about apps, which even my 67 year old father uses with his iPod Touch.

I used to have a Power Book and then a Macbook, but I got tired of carrying it around and got myself an iMac. And now I want something really portable but powerful from Apple! So I am following all the rumors about the possibility of a Tablet... and of Apple allowing a new carrier for the iPhone. Bummer! I've got cash gifts for Christmas and my Mom wants me to pick something with the cash I got from her. She wants to see it under the Christmas tree... but I can't buy one of those things from Apple right now now!! I know this is a really stupid predicament to have, but, I hope Apple listens to us gadget-oriented-crazy-people soon!
