I was a big PC fan before I got "Oyster" from Tom, but she (I mean Oyster; gendered, as my plants are) has become such a reliable resource that I find myself switching my preferences. And talking about sleekness and design in NYC, who can beat the Apple guys? Without my Nano, I would feel deprived, just like living in a desert. Embarrassing, I admit, that I do what I promised myself not to do: sit in the subway totally engrossed in my music, like everybody else around me. Where is communication, people? Well, it still happens. I still talk to strangers to find out how nice New Yorkers really are, and I feel the deep human connection that Olga blogged about in such a soulful way last week. And I guess I have to accept the fact that we love to be techy, to be sleek and trendy, and that part of our daily communication comes from exactly topics like Kate's post: to be or not to be, Mac or PC?
