I'm Sebastian and I am a blogger for IMP. I live in France and I think that the French are (no offense intended) somewhat odd.

I'm only young but so far I've lived in New York, London, Wellington and now Paris. I like traveling and next I would like to go to the US (Mainly because everything Apple is really cheap there).

I use a MacBook (Early 2008, White) as my main machine and since I got it in August I’ve really enjoyed using it. Alex (my MacBook) was my first Mac - and my first computer that I owned. I’m not a switcher, because I never owned a PC but my parents have a Dell and I used it a lot before Alex joined my life. I also own an iPod Nano (2nd Gen, Silver, 2GB) that I got last year for learning my times tables. For Christmas 2008 I got an iPod Touch which I really like!

The way that I got into Macs and everything Apple is a long story, but seeing as you’ve read this far you might as well keep reading.

It started when in late 2006, my Dad got my Mum an iPod (the one that is now the Classic). I was amazed at the ease of use of the iPod and the simplicity of iTunes (Even on Windows it looks OK). When the iPhone was announced at Macworld 2007 I was astounded but it’s coolness and that’s what turned me on to Apple. At about this point, I became my class’s Apple Marketing agent and I entered Apple’s RDF (Reality Distortion Field). As I said earlier, during 2007 I got an iPod Nano and I started listening to podcasts. As a reward for surviving 3 months of French school (which is really hard when you don’t speak French) my parents paid for the last third of My Macbook which I got mid 2008.

I love Apple and I hope that they stay around for many moons to come. I believe that IMP is awesome.
