In that respect, I have a better chance of liking my operating system than liking you.

So, really, it’s not all bad.

I like what Luke said. I think all people who don’t absolutely need to do crazy special things on their computer (grandmas, wives, bosses, sales reps, art people, er… everyone except computer programmers really…) should use a Mac. This would really help the IT dept. out a lot. Of course, Macs have terrible issues connecting to windows shares and the like, and they insert weird “.whatever” files everwhere (if you look from a PC), which can lead to much IT frustration (our IT dept. has lots of trouble getting Mac & PC to play nice).

But those frustrations are NOTHING in comparison to the idiocy of having to devote one afternoon a week to type in the root password on people’s machines to update their iTunes software (I think Mac releases a new version once a week just to screw with Vista users in corporate settings).

Ok… there’s my two tuppence…

Thanks for a great post. Glad you enjoyed the Mac. She misses you. She misses your musk…

Of course, not all people had $1500 to blow on music. And for that, Thanks to Slickdeals, Facebook,and Brian McCulloh, who worked hard for me on a 3-for-1 system.

What a great way to spend your last week of work at Butler. I can only hope mine will be as glorious.

@Emilee: good point about the games. Note that I wasn’t referring to a Mac’s abilities to run a game, I was referring to the number of games available for a Mac versus a PC.

I know there are Mac workspaces out there, but again just not nearly as many as PC. Unfortunately. However I believe graphic designers, media companies, and Hollywood have all sold their souls to Apple Computer, Inc., so if you get into one of these industries you would have a much better chance at realizing your dream.

I do want to point out that for every PC user who hates a Mac there are 5 Mac users who hate PCs. Once again, they need to read the link in my last comment.

2. Customization for realz. I just tricked out my laptop. New HD doubled my space and I quadrupled my RAM. Oh, and put Mac OS Leopard (or bumblebee) on as a sleek finishing touch. My two year old black Macbook is rolling with the big boys now. And I did it all by myself.

3. Games. I played WoW on the Macbook while it was plugged into my 17 inch HD widescreen monitor with super fast mouse and keyboard. Nuf said.

4. Oh, and Mac workplaces..not as mythical as you might imagine. They exist. It’s my dream to find one such haven, infiltrate the ranks, and never, ever leave.

5. But mostly I’m glad you saw that they weren’t all evil. They do just seem to work. I still don’t get why most PC users hate on them for that very reason.
