I had a nightmare

The other night, just about when I had placed the order for my new MacBook Pro, I had this nightmare, although a funny one.

I dreamt having the new Mac delivered to me. It was in a colorful box, all cluttered with text and specifications. A little confused, sure enough, I found the Mac logo there on the package.

Inside the box I found a laptop that was not fully assembled yet. One thing that stands out in memory is the processor: it consisted of a lump of coal with a few steel wires connected to it. I also remember feeling quite stressed from looking at some instruction video that was in the package, that basically consisted of a bunch of Windows 2000-greyish windows that flickered by, stacked on top of each other at hyper speed.

When I woke up, I realized it was my subconscious idea of the Windows platform, maybe inspired by the following video that I watched a few months ago:

Waking up I also realized that I had thought that I was at least fairly neutral when it comes to the old Mac-PC platform war, but my subconscious told me something else:

- You are a religious man! (and a geek too...)

When awake, though, I will still stick with my eclectic, non fundamentalist, "whatever-does-the-job" attitude. Actually it's more about a love for Apple products, that hate of everything not Apple. And without that grain of soundness, I think this blog would be totally uninteresting.

All in all I found the dream very funny, and I think that was what sparked my decision to start writing this blog.
