Hi all. My name is George or as most friends call me Webby, which overtime became DJwebby and since this name was taken in many on line services (gmail, blogger, AIM etc) I added the 2002 (the year I actauly veery actively engaged in the blogging community) and the GR to denote Greece the place on earth I call home. So the total is DJWebby2002GR. Which is pretty cool I think. I am an apple fun and I have been working with macs my whole live. For nearly 23 years. Overtime I not only learned a lot of tricks and hints in apple computer, but I also learnt to think apple. I developed a shell on my brain that is intuitively and processing in apple mode. I don ‘t think human and convert to apple. I think apple.
I was debating the creation of a blog for really long time, but my current mobile blog on cooking, music and other philosophical issues does not allow me to implement this extra blog there. Too crowded you see. But I needed to. I felt that I need to share my poor but strong knowledge on apple computers with the rest of you.
Before I start my posts on apple products, I would give you a small history on my Macs and my Apples. So:
1985 - My dad buys for his work his first computer. A Macintosh that after an upgrade runs with an external hard drive and 4 MB or RAM (I know it was insane).
1992 - He buys a second hand Macintosh LC25 (or II) and the macintosh becomes mine, but I stuck with the pretty colors of the LC display.
1995 - Upon passing to college in physics major my dad buys me the Performa 5300 which has awesome. I was kissing it good buy every night for one year.
2000 - I worked in the radio station for 5 years and I collected enough money to buy a car. That time the G4 tower comes out, and I forget all about the car… I own an G4 Tower witha DVD and 128 MB RAM
2001 - I move to USA as a student and my awesome computer stays behind, for my dad and my sister. I buy an iBook G3 with 256 MB of Ram and an amazing 16 MB video card.
2003 - My dad needs a new laptop. I buy an iBook G4 and he gets my older laptop. I also bought my first iPod refurbished for $350. A 30 GB hard drive, and the simple LCD.
2006 - I buy my iMac. I had a PhD and I should look professional. It is the Intel Core Duo 2 t 2.0 GHz with 1 GB of RAM (upgraded to 2GB later), 51q2 video Memory and has the build in iSight. Towards the end of the year I buy a MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz and 256 MB Ram. I also bought a new 80 GB iPod that plays video.
2007 - I gave away my iBook G4 (I regret it now because I never had guessed its sentimental value, but back then it was for a good cause).
2008 - I bought an iPhone.
So you can see that my apple history is rich and valuable. My first operating system was 1.2 where now we are through the 10 the generation. I would discuss the name of apple operating system in different post, but my point is that over the years I went through 8 different versions of MacOS. So stay tuned for my tips, thoughts and tricks for apple, the second most famous apple in the world. Second, only after to the legendary apple that hit Newton on his head, enough to make him to discover the law of gravity. And a fun fact: The first apple logo was picturing Newton under an apple tree? Random? I don ‘t think so.
