Welcome to Apple Forever, the site all about Apple!

What We Do

Jacob Haug and I, Stuart Wagner, are two Apple fanatics who live in a world surrounded by Apple products. In fact, we love Apple so much, we created a website just to blog about it!

Our goal is to inform people all around the world that Apple trumps Microsoft. And yes, for those of you who are reading this off of a screen with a little Windows icon in the bottom left corner, you read that correctly, Apple really is better. I’m not going to explain why right now, ‘cause that’s what the articles are for, but what I will say is that even for those who are stubborn and cling on to their little PCs no matter what anybody says, there’s hope for you. A Mac will soon show you the light. And maybe throw an iPhone and couple of iTunes gift cards in there, too.

And for the smart, hyperactive, good-looking people out there who already use (and love!) a Mac, let’s make your trusty companion more personal, more you. Stay tuned, and we’ll show you how!

In the meantime, while you’re kissing your Mac, or kicking your PC, go ahead and read about how Apple Forever came to be. Hey, that rhymed! Anyway, it’s actually a pretty funny story, so dive on in!

How It All Started

Back in February 2008, Jacob and I, Stuart, started Apple Forever with the intention of blogging about Apple from outer space. We wrote some letters to NASA to get a ride up to the space station, but they never replied. So, we tried calling them, but there was a French guy on the phone who only knew one phrase of English, “I would like to buy a hamburger”. Of course, he was probably related to Jacques Clouseau because he had some trouble with it… Anyway, we gave up on NASA and tried working something out with Roskosmos, the Russian Federal Space Agency. That didn’t get us any further, considering neither Jacob nor I are fluent in Russian, meaning we never got past “Hello” with the agency.

We eventually gave up the space idea and decided on a new one. Frozen Tundra. Siberia seemed like a nice, remote place to set up a hosting server, until we found out the wireless internet doesn’t work so well out there. Bummer. Anyway, we tried and failed at several other ideas, I’m sure you’ve been there.

Having wasted about three months worth of time on trying to find a good location, we decided on doing it here in the US. After all, we were glad to be rid of the African lions, which is a story I’m not going into. Let’s just say, when they named it Safari, Apple didn’t mean that you should use it on a trip through Africa. ‘Nuff said.

After setting up the site, we began writing some articles. We got distracted a lot though; people kept trying to sell us brochures for a trip to a Chinese rice field. And man, they were persistent. It was terrible, one of ‘em got into the trash, left banana peels and empty yogurt cups everywhere! Boy that was a mess… I don’t even want to think about it, it’ll make me sick. I’ve never seen so much garbage on the ceiling in my life!

After having taken care of the Chinese brochure salespeople, we finally got back to the site. By now it was New Year’s Eve and we had a big party for 2009. Apple Forever looked really terrible after that, we accidentally spilled some champagne on the navigation bar, and the footer caught fire… We had to hire the plumber to unclog the search form too; some guy took too many queries.

Well, you get the picture. A year’s worth of wasted time, big messes, and expensive porcelain that had to be replaced. So, in February 2009 we made up our minds to redesign Apple Forever. You know, some new furniture, a nice paint job, exotic plants, a plasma-screen TV… the whole shebang. Jacob got a new umbrella, don’t ask, inside joke. We totally realigned the site. The construction company was a pain though, so we fired ‘em and took over ourselves. I think we did some pretty good work.

And now that Apple Forever has a completely new look, we would like to ask you to be careful not to spill any foods or drinks, wipe your shoes before coming inside, and clean up after yourselves. We’re not pointing any fingers, we’d just like to keep everything tidy.

Enjoy, and remember, if it’s not Apple, it’s wrong!
