When Microsoft approached me about launching a colorful computer I was all ears. “What about silver? Or rose gold” I asked, only to be told “it’s more professional & chic” … I’m sorry TO WHO. not like normal grey, SPACE GREY a dark soul-sucking grey. Color me unimpressed when we went to buy our current iMac that I’m typing on right now & the only color it came in was SPACE GREY. COLOR devices, COLOR commercials, COLOR everywhere … until it wasn’t. IPods, iPads, 8+ iPhones, iMacs & MacBooks later and Apple had introduced me to some of my favorite songs in their crazy cute commercials. We still have Franken-Mac, Paris used it for YEARS too long. I was denied and although my parents did get us some ugly forest green non-Mac computer (A for effort mom & dad) & the lime green N64 (ok, maybe I can’t complain) – it wasn’t a Mac! So I was stuck writing my very important aim chats on my “not a mac” while the lime green goddess was what my y2k dreams were made of.Īnd so it began… I had a MacBook in college (bc everyone did) and I even fused two together (mine & my friends) to create “Franken-Mac” when my screen broke. We had Windows at home, but I begged and pleaded and even made a PowerPoint presentation to my parents discussing WHY I needed the apple green, apple to match my green floral walls. At the time they weren’t the industry leader that they are today so giving them to a school at a time where computer science was all the rage & computer lab days were THE best made most of us mac users FOR LIFE. If you’re a millennial or older you probably remember these candy-colored cuties a la 2001!īut did you know that apple donated million of them to schools? Yep for free? Whyyyyy you may ask? Well, the real reason was to help foster the next generation of Apple users.
