Life is such a sweet insanity.
I love life and people. This is a place where I can write down what's happening, what I'm thinking, what I'm seeing and what I'm feeling. After all, life is just one blog entry after another.Wednesday, September 01, 2004
The Inevitable.
Five years ago, I would have never guessed that I would switch over to their side. At the mall they were displaying themselves in the window of their new hideout. I scoffed at them. I called them freaks. Easy. Eye Candy. Nothing but a toy for a fool's pleasure.
Naturally, I was talking about a Mac.
This morning, I jumped over to the Mac side. Now those who have followed my blog for a while will know that I've dreamed about getting a Mac. A brand new, shinny, spiffin' latest incarnation of a PowerMac.
I lied.
Today I purchased a refurbished PowerMac G4 533mhz system with 256MB of RAM. It's already on the truck and on its way. It'll be here in a week. I am so excited about the newest baby joining the family. He's already been dubbed Macwarrior. He'll get a little boost with more RAM when he arrives. And I'm sure I can find a few toys to dress him up a bit, especially after we browse the Apple store.
Yes, I did want the latest and greatest, especially since the really cool looking G5s were announced by Apple yesterday. But do I really NEED the latest and greatest? Of course I don't. Why spend thousands upon thousands of dollars when I'm would end up using maybe a quarter of the system's capabilities? I'll grow into that someday, but for now, Macwarrior will do just fine for me.
Five years ago, I wasn't a big Mac fan. I thought my capabilities were lightyears beyond anything a Mac could provide me. I was wrong. There was no challenge in using a Mac. The blasted thing even smiled at you! Hackers don't get smiled at? They get blinked at by a stark cursor at a command prompt. They type in commands like 'ps aux | grep fetchass'. Well now I can have my cake and eat it too. I'm ready to play in Mac OS X land. I've had my Linux box wearing a Mac OS X costume for quite a while. And I haven't booted into Windows XP in weeks.
I never thought I would see the day that our house would become a Mac only zone. That day arrives next Wednesday.
Anyone want to buy a souped up HP?
