Before Rocket MacQueen...

My first portable computer is Toshiba's classic I can't recall the model. I had it when I was Technical Writer/Product Specialist for a software consulting firm. Fast forward and the same firm reemerged as a contact center/BPO and I became Customer Service Manager for a Web Services campaign in the US. I used to call her "Tongki."

After giving up Tongki for a consultancy job overseas, I had a better Toshiba notebook (see that big iPod Photo and navy blue Nokia 6670? Vintage now..) which helped me get through the pressing deadlines. That's "Shish."

I thought Toshiba's tough, Shish's only a year old and gave up on me easily. When my projects abroad were done, I went back home (permanently) and moved on to a new company, with which I was issued a 14" MSI MegaBook. In less than a year of use, "Krush" showed its many flaws. Still, a reliable extra PC for a few Microsoft Windows-only tasks.

And here's Rocket MacQueen, lovely! Making me regret why I switched only now. Apple, true to its marketing come-on, with a Mac, everything just works.
