I think I can do the napkin trick.
Ever.
So, I switched to a Mac….
and the commercials don’t lie. They’re better. Period.
My wife got a Windows Vista laptop a few months ago. I could not believe the amount of complicated nonsense she had to go through to get the thing to just work. Her machine sometimes can’t find our home wireless network, frequently needs encouragement to connect to it, and drops it more often than it should. My Mac just connects.
Bootup time isn’t even comparable. The Windows machine isn’t even in the same league.
Safari is pretty good, but I still had to switch to Firefox so that I could keep using Zotero. iChat owns. Keynote blows Power Point out of the water. Apple Mail + Gmail = email awesomeness.
I spoke with my mother-in-law this weekend about her need to make the switch, as her Windows XP machine tends to be a constant source of frustration. Her comment was that she didn’t want to learn anything new…. but when she gets a new computer, it’ll be something new anyway (Vista). She might as well get something better.
So why a reboot?
I’ve been thinking more about this space, and what I wanted it to be. Originally, my thought was to write these profound and thought-provoking messages. The problem was, when I did come up with something that fit that description, I didn’t have time to sit down and type something out. So here’s the deal. This blog will now be about me, my family, my faith, my work, and my interests. I’m going to try to write something here every day, even if it’s short and not exactly world changing.
