Steve Jobs



Did you watch Steve Jobs movie?!

My darling and I watched it yesterday.

but... the story line was so so...

Of course, there were some inspiring scenes that I liked, but so so overall.

BTW, I was a MAC user when I was a college student. (I still have my ibook G3 M6411 and it is still working!) But since then I switched to windows and I was away from MAC until 2011. Now I use MacBook Pro as a main machine and I really love it :)
