«Back to main storyPostcards from the Mac faithful
Omar Yacoubi, a college student in Richmond, Va., didn't start out as an Apple lover. "I used to hate Macs, especially before OS X," he says. "When OS X first came out I thought it was a pretty toy, but something not for me. Same with iTunes. How could something so simple prove so useful?" Then Yacoubi got an iPod, he says, "and I started to realize that the simplicity is the beauty of Apple."
