As if we needed further proof that Microsoft is evil.
I miss my Mac. About 18 months ago, I went over to the dark side, mostly because my employer was an all-PC place, and I began to work in Cold Fusion, a PC-based programming environment. And, I admit, I like to play games, and most games are for the PC. But Windows is a steaming pile of doo-doo which crashes my machine multiple times daily. Beyond that, even after this many months, it just feels wrong in a way that’s hard to explain in words. When I sit down in front of my (admittedly very nice) IBM Athlon, I tense up; when I sit in front of my Mom’s iMac, I just feel a sense of relief. I’m almost beginning to feel that owning a Mac is like belonging to the ACLU – a small gesture to stem the tide of the dark side, one person at a time.
Macs want you to enjoy your computing experience. They are designed to make things easier and more pleasant when possible. PCs could care less. They are all angular and boxy and sterile. They do their best to keep functionality hidden and they resist any attempt at customization that would make things even a smidgen more enjoyable. And, they’re not Mac compatible.
In my desperation for a job, I interviewed for a job at Microsoft last fall. I’ve regained my senses and I say Resist The Evil Empire.
Oh Man!!!
Sometimes I can’t believe the stuff you write. Get W2K on your computer. I can’t crash it (and I’ve tried – REAL HARD).
It’s also awfully hard to crash a Rascal. I still wouldn’t use it instead of a car. (Or a car instead of the subway, for that matter.)
Mike, Mike, Mike. I hope you’re not comparing a Mac to a Rascal. 🙂
