My name is Kelley Shackelford, the man behind 50leaves.com. I currently live in the gross state of New Jersey, with my beautiful wife Stephanie and my dog Oscar. I’m a complete computer / internet geek thats completely fascinated with just about anything Apple. Apple is maybe the only company that I can truly say makes amazing products, well…. most products.. *cough cough* except their mice sucks a*s.

When I Lost My Mac Virginity

I was not always an Apple fan. In fact, if you asked me 10 years ago to try a mac, I probably would have laughed in your face. I, like many others, decided to give macs a try after falling in love with my iPod which is frequently known as the “halo effect” today. I grew tired of cleaning my wife’s windows computer from spyware, trojans and malware, I decided to buy an iMac for her so I wouldn’t have to fix her machine anymore. I figured since she uses it for email and surfing the web, a mac would be great for her. After a week or so of owning my wife’s iMac, I instantly fell in love with how simple and powerful the operating system was that I decided to buy the fastest Power Mac G4 apple sold and ditched my windows machine and never looked back.
