Anybody who’s ever participated in a Mac-vs-PC flamewar, or simply witnessed one (and who hasn’t witnessed dozens?) knows that Mac fanatics (as opposed to mere Mac users) are utopianists at heart.
Well, I have bought my first Mac. One of the pricier ones too: a 15.4" Powerbook Pro, with, for some reason, two video cards. Apparently I can switch to the slower one to save battery life. Weird. Well, of course I’ll be bootcamping Windows into it, as I am not a utopianist but merely a student of utopias, and I have plenty of programs I use in Windows. I wouldn’t mind sticking a few games on this either, to run the higher powered video card through its paces.
But I’m finding the Mac OS pretty easy to get used to so far–a lot easier than a few years ago, pre-OSX, when I tried and gave up.
Anyway, my bank account is pissed at me, but it does seem like a fine computer.
