Macs are for everyone !

I know I have purchased my last Win based machine. Nothing but headaches and the same problems as my old Win98 machine.

This is just Plain Stupid. I’m right handed. Mrs. Altair is right handed. We love our Macs.

I chose a Mac because I was too lazy to find a machine that both a) I did not have to pay the Microsoft Tax on for the inevitable Linux install; b) I wanted to play games and my favorite game is World of Warcraft.

I’m really a KDE fan. I love that interface the best. I’ll have to admit though, that Open Spaces is growing on me every day and it becomes harder to use my KDE/Linux desktop machine all the time.

The kicker though is that when it comes down to it, I hate running systems that I have not contributed system software to. I’ve contributed patches for dozens of various Linux packages, so that’s a no-brainer. Much of the software distributed with Mac OS X (like /bin/zsh, XEmacs, Emacs) has my code in it. That works for me.

I’d rather work with a system that is pleasant to use and has software that I have personally improved (Mac OS X freeware components) than use a system that makes me want to push a screwdriver through my forehead (Microsoft Windows). I have no idea how left -vs- right handedness fits into that.
