Am I An Apple Fanboy?

boulder_bum · 08-20-2008, 11:29 PM

It dawned on me the other day. In the past two years, I bought an Apple TV (which I think is the coolest thing since sliced bread), an iPhone, a Nano for my father-in-law, and I just signed up for a bank account that will get a free iPod Touch for my wife.

The future plan is to use the iPod Touch and iPhone's free "Remote" app to create a poor man's Sonos after investing in an Airport Express that will give us the ability to queue up iTunes music from the computer in our basement to the speakers in our living room.

Am I a fanboy yet, or do I need to buy a Mac first?

At least I think MobileMe is a piece of trash.

Nah, I don't think so, you just use the mobile 'iDevices'.

rfruth · 08-20-2008, 11:46 PM

even without a Mac your there (no .Mac ?)

I think the Apple TV qualifies you, but for the complete experience, you should get a Mac.

MacBook Pro
Two airports in the house (extreme and express)
iPhone (had 2.5G, now 3G)
.Mac (Mobile Me)
