I know it's late, but I've got a sudden urge to blog about something. And since life thus far has provided nothing of interest to blog about, I thought I'd blog about my latest obsession.
As the title of this post suggests, I have become an Apple fanboy. I realised this when I first started saying, "That doesn't happen on Macs." and "You wouldn't have that problem on a Mac." whenever someone mentioned their computer troubles.
Furthermore, it became even more obvious when I saw the new MacBook after Daniel mentioned it. He said that he wanted a Mac, and that he was considering a MacBook. It sparked my interest, so I flitted over to the Apple website and had a look at the new MacBook.
It is amazing.
I knew they'd released new MacBooks because I get an e-mail update (that I can't seem to unsubscribe from) saying about new products and offers they have. It said sometime last year that the new MacBooks are out, but I thought it was just the MacBook Pros, which are so expensive that they're not even worth thinking about.
But no, it was the new MacBooks. The standard, consumer-level MacBook that has earned Apple so much money. It's fantastic: 13.3 inch LED lit screen, 120GB hard drive, a 2 GHz intel pentium core processor, and an aluminium unibody enclosure make for a phenomenal piece of technology. I want one.
No, scratch that. I need one.

After that, I was playing with my iPod and thought, "Oh, how nice it would be to own an iPhone." So now I've decided that as soon as I move from this house [more on that in a minute] and I have enough money, I'm getting an iPhone as well. Or at least, whatever phone the marvelous minds at Apple have come up with by that time.
Now I mentioned moving out: that's for a reason. I can't have an iPhone whilst I'm in this house because of network troubles. As you know, iPhones only work on the O2 network, but in my house O2 doesn't work. Looking at the map of network coverage, all of Abertridwr is fine, apart from one miniscule black spot. And that black spot, my friends, is directly above my house.
That's right, the only place in all of Abertridwr that doesn't have network coverage on O2 is my house. You can get a signal if you sit on the worktop in the kitchen, but that's it. Nowhere else. Thus, it is pointless in purchasing an iPhone until either a) O2 upgrade their network coverage, or b) I move. When I move is a completely different thing, but let's not get into that; it robs me of my confidence and only works to inspire thoughts I'd rather not think.
Alas, it is time for my sleepy byes for there is a long day of revision and work ahead of me tomorrow. If you want little updates of what I'm doing, follow me on Twitter. I will occasionally post some interesting links on there as well.
But for now, goodbye!
N.B. It may be worth noting that I already have tags on here called "Apple" and "Mac". May also show my fanboyism over Macs and all other Apple products.
P.S. Please excuse this post. It was more my excitement over the MacBook escaping than anything else. If I sound like I'm exaggerating about them, I probably am. But that's because I think Macs are amazing. Best. Computers. EVAR. (And I am aware that 'ever' is spelt wrong. No need to tell me.)
Sorry, but it's politics again...

Ok, I'm bored, so I thought it would be quite nice to start blogging again.
Well, nice isn't the word. The word is
