My First Computer in My Student Days Was a SONY
I bought my first computer when I was a university student.
I got it through a student-co-op loan, and if I remember correctly, it was a SONY VAIO.
But then again… I vaguely recall buying a different one earlier, maybe in my freshman year.
My memory is a little fuzzy.
I clearly remember one thing: I bought that VAIO right around the time Windows 95 came out.
It was when the world of the internet was just beginning to expand, and I felt this excitement—
“The future is here!”
I even created my lab’s homepage using HTML.
Time passed, and about ten years ago, things changed again.
Until then, the desktop computer in our living room had been a shared one between my husband and me.
But at some point, I truly wanted a personal computer—literally my own.
My children were still young, but I had slowly been increasing my part-time work hours,
and I had managed to save a little money.
So I decided to go for it:
I bought a computer just for myself,
and with that momentum, I quietly started a blog.
Come to think of it, the real reason was that I had enrolled in a note-taking course for people with hearing impairments.
My YouTube channel↓↓
At first, it was a place to express emotions.
(※The origin of my current activities must be at that time.)
Blog name Good recommendation.com
I got a domain, rented a server, installed wordpress, and worked hard. I tried my best to be able to do AdSense.
As a result, not at all.
And now, to the era of ChatGPT and video editing
Now is the era when you can create not only text but also videos by yourself.
I also wanted to use “Vrew” to edit videos,
For some reason, the installation didn’t work, so I gave up. When I asked chatgpt, I heard that the computer is old.
By the way, FMV from 10 years ago.
Somehow, when I use wordpress, I feel like it takes a lot of time,
It’s been suspicious for a long time.
I was thinking somewhere in my heart.
“I want to use Mac someday”
The day has finally come true for me, who has been in Windows for about 30 years.

Finally, the day I bought a Mac
At first, I ordered at the Apple Store. For some reason, the card payment didn’t work, so I gave up. So I ordered it on Amazon.
I really wanted to pay in installments,
Somehow, the setting didn’t work well, and I ended up paying in a lump sum.
After confirming the payment, my hands trembled a little to be honest.
But “I did it!” Rather than the feeling that,
“I finally got it!” The feeling of elation was greater.
After waiting for 2 days, it arrived today.
As expected, “placement” is scary, so it is lifted.
The moment I received it at the entrance, my heart was pounding.

The price is the same.
I suddenly realized.
The computer I bought in 1995 and
The price of the Mac I bought now is almost the same.
At that time, the Mac was 400,000 to 600,000 yen.
It was a “special machine” for designers and researchers.
If you think about it,
The MacBook I just got,
It’s like a “promise that transcends time”.
It’s not a hamburger, but it’s the taste of a dream.
“It’s not a hamburger” written in the title is,
From the puns of “Mac” and “Mac”.
Oh, even if you don’t tell me, you know.
By the way, I’m a person who can’t buy Mac because I always give money to my daughters and ask them to buy something they like.
However,
Today, I was much fuller than a hamburger.
I feel like I opened the door of a new world in my 50s.
It’s been 10 years since I started blogging,
Even in the era of AI and video editing,
After all, “creating” is fun.
If anything, it’s no different from the fun of being able to change the color and size of the text in HTML.
The moment I opened my Mac today,
I feel like a new story is spreading beyond the screen.
