Of course with such title you can argue that we are Mac centric and/or addicts not able to look around or to consider anything else that does not hold an Apple logo. But if you are a long time reader of Hardmac, you know our policy to support the Mac community, without being devoted to Apple. The reason of this title is quite simple and you will better understand.
Couple of weeks ago, while we were sailing in West Indies, we had to stop in Union Island (piece of land in the middle of the Caribbean sea) for getting some food as well as the last information about weather and wind forecast. While we were looking for the local harbor authority building, we spotted a small internet cafe:
As we could get the required information from the net, we headed to the place. I was entering and getting prepared to see couple of PCs, but I was wrong, deeply wrong: it was a kingdom for Apple computers! The only PCs belong to customers willing to use the wireless network provided by the Airport station:
Most stations were composed of Mac mini, from the last generation powered by Core 2 Duo:
Even though in the corner, an iMac G4 was still in use:
This was also the place for a shock between Apple notebook generations, with on the same table the veteran PB G4 12" and the brand new MacBook Air!
Last but not least, hosts of the internet cafe were friendly as one would expect between Mac users. This was a pleasant experience for me while I was 9000 km from my home I was feeling in a familiar environment.
To conclude, if you decide to go on holidays to fortget about your usual work or activities for 1 or 2 weeks, you might actually never be able to reach this goal... Macs are everywhere.
