Sittin' Under a Tree Chewin' and Thinkin' 'Bout Macs
22/10/08 20:47
In my part of the country, it’s almost always warm and sunny.
As a matter of fact, we don’t have much winter here in the Ozarks.
And with the weather all sunny and nice like, it gets ya to thinkin’ a mite about the future.
Well sir, it’s pretty rosy in Appleland and things are gettin’ heated up. Just ’bout everywhere ye turn someones got their ear in those iPod thingees, listening to music.
Ya reckon Apple’s gonna make a computer as small as one o’ them iPods?
I say it’s a comin’!
Purty soon one of them cumputer thingees is gonna be
embedded in my skin … I don’t want no part of it!
No, this is not what the conversation is about here in the Ozarks, but at times, it gets pretty close.
Since moving down here from Chicago, I am constantly amazed at the way people see things here. Mind you, it’s nice to have a pace that is several times slower than what’s happening only 500 miles north of me.
However, when you talk Macs and all things Macintosh here, a lot of people laugh and think you’re talking toys. Yes, even today.
I was at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon yesterday making a presentation for my company and mentioned that I was working on a project that would show others how to make profits with a Macintosh computer.
A gentleman at the table remarked, laughing, that I needed a lotta luck to make that happen.
Interestingly enough, after my presentation, the mayor of that small town stuffed her card in my hand and asked me to call her right away.
Anyway, the Mac users in this area are for the most part a pretty good bunch, but a lot of them are still using older Macs and haven’t gotten up to speed.
I equate that to the fact that this whole area is filled with rural folk who have always been able to “make do” with what was on hand and not jump into things too hasty.
So, what I was thinking, since a lot of us Mac users are in our own little world so to speak, how many people out there still think the Mac is only good for educators, graphic artists, or movie makers?
(Hmmm, that’s a pretty big list)
Only time will tell if Apple’s push into the mainstream with it’s Mac Revolution will create an even bigger market share or just passing interest.
As for those of us that have used Macintosh computers for years to run our businesses, we’ll continue to work merrily along with our Macs.
Time will tell.
