First I bought an iPhone, and then because iTunes evolved to require XP or better, I bought a Mac Mini that is currently hooked up to a 52” Sony HDTV that’s streaming Netflix right now. Then they came out with this amazing little device I’m typing on right now, the iPad. After that I ended up replacing a dead desktop with a seriously cool 22” iMac. Boy I don’t miss the rats nest of wires around my desk and floor.

My T60 Leovo laptop still runs Linux, but I hardly use it anymore. Well okay I still use it, but not as much. Windows? I’ve got it on a VM on the Linux laptop. I haven’t had cause nor desire to fire it up in a couple of years. Don’t miss it.

Oddly enough, I still Like girls, and I vote conservative, every time.

The old mac, I will grant you, was a toy. Slow, unstable, whatever.

But since OS X came along, it is screaming fast, bulletproof BSD Unix under the hood. Metrosexuals don’t care about such things, but people who have work to get done certainly do.

I have saved myself many dozens, maybe hundreds of hours by using Macs instead of PCs. At my hourly rate, every time you avoid re-installing a corrupted malware infested Windows installation, you save enough money to pay for the price differential for a Mac ten times over...
