Macintosh and iOS, a good tune that just won't leave your head.

                Many people have their opinions on how Apple does what they do best, and keep selling all of their products year after year without changing much of anything.  Sure Apple does change the innards of their electronics, including faster processors, better graphics chips, and sharper screens but one thing that does not really change throughout all their different generations of products is the operating system.  Back when I was still new to the world of electronics, when I was in elementary school, I was given my first laptop to use.  Sadly it was not mine to keep, but it was basically mine for the school year.  It was an iBook, and it was the coolest thing every to me at the time.  Now way back then, I or even anyone for the matter had wifi at their houses, which you would think because you couldn't even get onto the internet at your house because thats all the school had taught you to use.  I had no clue what ethernet cords were at the time, and to get onto the internet back then your home phone would be disabled anyway.  The iBook was so magical, that I did not even feel the need to use the internet at all.  I spent countless hours just digging my way through the computer, like a brave adventurer fighting his way through a thick jungle.  Just learning about all that the computer could do, and finding some its neat programs really made time fly.  

            Now fast forward to the present day, during this last year.  I had added a new gadget to my archive of electronics.  The MacBook Air.  I had not operated an Apple computer of my own since the days of my playing around with the iBook.  To my disbelief, the Operating System and user interface had remained relatively the same.  It was great, I knew how to use the computer, without ever using it before.  It was like looking for a buried treasure that you already knew the location of.  I think thats one of the reasons people keep coming back for more from Apple.  
             
          Sure the user interface is the same as it was 10 years ago, but this machine is a heck of a lot faster than the old iBook.  The hardware had also changed a great deal as well.  This was a fraction of the size and weight of the iBook.  I thought it was amazing that they managed to pack that and a lot more into such a tiny space.  I'm sure there will come a day when Apple does decide to change something about their interface, and when it does it will probably crazier (and funner) than anything we would be able to think of today.
