Goodbye Windows
Hi, I’ve been a Windows users for, oh, over ten years now.
The relationship hasn’t always been… Well, let’s be honest now.
The relationship was great in the beginning. I mean, what a step up from my first- Tandy. What a looker Windows was in comparison…
Though, things started to sour as of late.
Our interests waned. Windows was more into databases and spreadsheets. Word processing. Things of that sort.
I was starting to get more into music recording, starting a audio digital library, image editing. PC just couldn’t keep up. I guess you could say that we grew apart.
Windows was always contracting some social virus or another. What an embarrassment. We tried some free clinics by word of mouth. No matter how much prescriptive or proscriptive treatment, these viruses would not leave Windows alone.
Every now and again our relationship crashed. It went as far as the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. Not a pretty sight. Had to get some serious counseling to get over that one.
So…
Visited some matchmaking sites online… explored some options... I’ve turned a new leaf- My new Powerbook just arrived Fed Ex.
To be honest, I’ve been out of it so long, I feel a bit awkward starting all over again. Ten years is a long time after all. This may not come easy; in fact, I may have to seriously work at this new relationship business.
It's like starting from square one... a blank slate. Aesthetically summarized by the sleek white shell of that brand new Mac.

I found your blog when someone linked it to our Writing Project spurl, and I couldn't help but comment on your becoming a Mac user. I think you'll adapt quite readily. I've never really been anything but a Mac user, but I usually don't proselytize. This summer, though, after watching a colleague struggle with an older pc, I asked her outright, "Why don't you go see a Mac and find out for yourself what it has to offer. If you check it out and don't like it, you haven't lost anything. Well, she bought it! I was worried she might not like it...and might blame me. But, almost every day she tells me how much she is loving her computer. We've video-conferenced and skyped with it...and that makes it fun. Hope you too enjoy your new Mac.
