What are you going to do today that’s worthy of me?
I was watching this TED talk by J.J. Abrams entitled The mystery box, and he was talking about the unlimited possibilities of a blank page, and his love affair with Apple computers. He pointed to his Powerbook and said:
This machine is great. It's like it's looking at me and saying What are you going to do today that's worthy of me?
I share that feeling completely. I've had the 17" Powerbook since it was first created. Now I have a 17" MacBook Pro, and I think I'll always have the best laptop Apple makes. It's just a feeling of the quality of the hardware and the software. The feeling that there's just about nothing I can't do on this guy. It's the creative palette that really does allow you to achieve your best. And in that, it's expecting you to give it your very best efforts as well.
And there are certainly more days than I can remember looking at the screen of this machine and feel it look back at me with the same feeling: what are you going to do today, Bob, that's as good as this? I've listened to Steve's keynotes and they are of that same tone - these are the machines of the dreamers... the creative professionals that will shape thought... change the world. What are you doing that's like that? I just love it to pieces.
