Bought my first Apple product - The Macbook Air with 13 inch screen. It has a intel i5 core processor.
First impression is that it is light, thin and portable. Good for those who use it to move around.
Being not familiar with iOS, I have quite a hard time trying to know how to navigate. The ports are also not familiar for me.
The first time I had used Apple product was when I was a secondary student, using an Apple IIe. At that time, users had to be familiar with the Basic computer language. See link:- http://e21s.blogspot.sg/2014/03/apple-iie.html
"If you want to make money, be a farmer not a financier! ....... there is a phenomenal opportunity ahead of farmers and investors. It's the old adage of buy low and sell high. And if you are 19 years old and you like the outdoors, get ahead of the curve and become a farmer. You will be the one driving the Lamborghini one day."

For the E21, there was no convertible. It was only available in 2 doors coupe style. There is a wide range of engines to choose from. Mine was a 1.5 litre 316.
When I bought it, the car was already 17 years old with quite a number of faults including the risk of a dead engine in the middle of the road. Beyond 90km/hr speed, the manual gear shift would rattle loudly. There was a problem of a faulty hazard light which would spring out when hot.
Despite its problem, it was a beautiful car to own given its unique C pillar and the kidney grille which were the signature of BMW even up till today F40.
I have personally sat in a E30, E36 and drove a E46 330 with the famous in line 6 engine.
Before purchasing my A3, I had taken a look at the BMW F40 316. But it was priced more than S$170,000 then which was beyond my budget.
The car ownership policy in Singapore doesn't encourage vehicle ownership beyond 10 years. The road tax structure increases once the car is beyond 10 years and there is a need to renew COE. Couple with a higher maintenance cost, these discourage drivers from keeping cars beyond 10 years. Hope that in future, this will change.
Update
BMW 3 Series Family
I was fortunate to be in BMW Museum in Munich in July 2015 and took a photograph of the 3 series family. The family includes the 2002 (known as the predecessor), E21(known as the first generation), E30, E36, E46 and E90. It excludes the F series. What a nice lineup!
Bought 11 tetra fishes recently. Found that they were really cute and shy. They were staying with my big marble angle fish, 1 remaining molly and 3 platy in a 2ft tank. The tetra would always tried to avoid contact with the marble angle fish but when food was around, they would swim out openly to feast. They swam in group and would always tried to stay in a group probably due to their small size. Hardly could see their eyes and mouth.
The fishes had colours that were neon bluish and greenish. The gills and the tail section were red in colour with the main body in silver. Amazed by the colours of these fishes.
1 died on the day of purchase with its head bitten off.
