The winters make me fall in love with it. Not only can I coil in my warm blanket, it also brings the festivities with it. Thanksgiving comes, followed by Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and finally Christmas and New Year. However, Thanksgiving always remains my favorite day. I love it when dad says the Thanksgiving prayer and we all follow him. I truly feel, there is always so much to thank about. Family, friends, wealth, health and travel–I have the world to thank about. And of course, this is the time families and friends get together for dinner.
This Thanksgiving, my cousin Dora also joined us for dinner. It was after five years that I was seeing her. I could not believe that the shy, lanky teenager now looks like the most beautiful girl I ever met. She had joined a renowned university for her honors in English literature. She was brimming bright with confidence.
After the dinner, she came down to my room with me to have a chat and there she spotted my MacBook Air. Her eyes became brighter as she saw it. She said that she also had the same one like mine. I was happy to know that. As she was a student, I wanted to know, why she used the Mac and not any other notebook.
She explained that as a student, she can be sure that this machine is built to last long, powered with the latest technology. She told me that she still needs to connect with Windows App, which Mac easily allows her to do. Making PowerPoint presentations, writing on Word doc or making Excel sheets is extremely easy and convenient for her.
She further told me that as a student, Mac remains her best choice for many other reasons. The battery is long lasting, which means that the laptop lasts through her classes on a single charge. It also works with almost every printer, camera, and bluetooth device. With a smile, she said that she downloads a lot of videos and songs, but as Mac isn’t susceptible to PC viruses, she stays carefree. She calls her notebook her ‘safe zone’.
With FaceTime, which is an in-built feature, she connects with her friends and family anytime she wants, as she is living on her own now. She just loves the way applications in Mac work together. From doing research to managing class schedules, Mac is her one shop stop. Finally, she told me that Mac comes with assistive technologies for students with learning and physical disabilities with no additional cost.
It was wonderful to know that Dora was another Mac lover in the family. She could have gushed about Mac all night, but she had to leave as her parents were getting late.
Dora left and so did the other guests. Thanksgiving came to an end. I would always remember this Thanksgiving not only for the wonderful time we all had, but also for knowing my Mac from a new perspective.
