My transition to Mac is almost complete. I'm just heading out to ship my PC to the person who won the auction. It's all tidied up like a new PC should be - a fresh install of Windows. Runs sort of nice when it's new and clean.
I knew the transition was almost complete yesterday as I waited for my Mac to get fixed (don't ask). I took it to Carbon Computing. Even the kids think that is a cool computer store. Across the road is a lonely PC shop. The beige boxes look like the drab second cousins of the sexy Macs.
I’ve been telling myself that my almost-Apple products (like my Dell Digital Jukebox) were almost as good as Apple products (like the iPod). It's a lie.
The only thing I don't like about Macs is that it is so hard to switch. I can't believe they haven't developed all kinds of utilities to switch everything over from a PC right out of the box, sort of like the Windows File and Settings Transfer wizard. Bookmarks, e-mails, documents and all that. Sure it would be challenging but there are a lot of people ready to switch if it were just that much easier.
Companies like Macromedia and Intuit need to get on the switch bandwagon too. Transferable licenses, Quicken files that will open on a Mac and a PC.
Even though it's a pain to switch over, it's worth it.
Now enough of this. It's too divisive. But get a Mac.
I want one! I really do!
