22. It Works Like an iPodAfter dismissing all things Apple for two decades, I finally purchased an iPod like the one in Figure 5. For my PC, this was the beginning of the end. Figure 5. People who crave a computer that "just works" as intuitively as their iPod are switching to the Mac. (Image courtesy of Apple.)
The iPod was a marvel of hardware and software design. In seconds, I was able to navigate my entire music collection and find precisely the track I wanted to hear. Best of all, the iPod "just worked." After 20 years of dedicated PC use, I found myself asking, "Could a computer be designed this way?" One trip to the Apple Store and I had my answer. Impressed with the iPod's design and ease of use? After you switch to a Mac, you can enjoy that same level of elegance and efficiency every time you use your computer. |
