It's finally come to pass. I've sold my soul to the dark side. I've bought a Mac. I found a good deal on eBay and figured cheap was a good way to dip my toes into the non-PC world. I spent some time chatting with Bruce about the specific computers we bought and he seemed very positive about what we have. I'm even thinking about getting a cheap iMac to toy around with.

Vista was what finally scared me off. I was looking at what I'd need to do if I wanted to upgrade to it and I'd have to dump a fair amount of money into the new laptop plus the cost of software. That's not even considering if we could upgrade the other laptop or the two towers I have. There's a good chance I wouldn't be able to upgrade them, since I think the Compaq tower is maxed out. I could probably buy a brand new MacBook for the cost of upgrading all our PCs. I can install Leopard, when it comes out, with no issue. The lack of viruses also is a huge plus in my book.

Plus Photoshop! How can I go wrong with something that's basically built to run Photoshop. I can also yoink software from Mum and Bruce now and they have awesome stuff.

Bleh. Other than that, nothing good is going on. I have a killer headache, probably from not eating a real lunch. I finally broke out the popcorn maker yesterday, so I made popcorn for lunch. I should probably find some Tylenol or have something with a little caffeine in it. Ugh, and I need to quit looking at iMac desktops. I don't need to spend even more money.

Probably akin to piddling around with the network when you get a new PC. That should be within my realm of abilities. Thanks :)
