Over a year ago, I sat in disbelief as Steve Jobs unveiled the newest toy in the Apple arsenal, the iPad. I had already owned an iPod touch and used iPhones long enough to know that the iPad was going to be a huge success, but gaming was listed as one of the key uses of this “magical” device and I thought that sounded a little off.
Gaming, for myself and many like me, is a term reserved for console game systems (like the XBOX 360 and PS3) and desktop computers. I’ve been playing games for years and when someone mentions a “gaming system” I think of fast graphics, surround sound and a controller. That’s what seemed so “off” in Steve’s speech.

JumpstartMyPC.com has decided to bring FollowFriday to our blog. Read on and, if you are so inclined, add these “interesting people” to your own list.

Several years ago I was invited over to a friend’s house to check out the release of a new XBOX game called Halo 2. I hadn’t played video games in a few years and hadn’t played them regularly since I was a kid, but if everyone was getting together I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity. It only took a few minutes of watching the others play before I was really interested and convinced someone else to hand over a controller so I could play. Bam! I was hooked.
