K and I have a non-aggression pact when it comes to the PC Mac wars. I have my PCs and she has her Macs. We respect each oth­ers’ machines and life moves on.

Mind­Comet has tipped the tide of this war, bro­ken our stand­still. How? Well, we’re a Mac office so I’ve adjusted and am happy to say I’ve had lit­tle trou­ble with the machines. There are some frus­trat­ingly sim­ple things I’ve had to unlearn. Not to men­tion it dri­ves me batty when I’m switch­ing between my Mac and the PC I’ve remoted into to test for IE6 bugs. Why does it drive me batty? The dif­fer­ence between Option + R and Ctrl + R. The Option key is where Alt nor­mally is for PC users. But that’s a small thing.

Really the Mac is a sim­pler OS. As a power user I’ve had to use the Ter­mi­nal win­dow and install point­less dash­board wid­gets such as a Chuck Nor­ris quote engine to make me feel suf­fi­ciently geeky.

It’s also to be noted that with the new pay­check I’ll be able to get a new lap­top, prefer­ably a shiny Mac Powerbook.

Yes, I’m a con­vert. Yes, K, Adam, Jes­sica, Doug and the peo­ple at work will prob­a­bly laugh when they read this. I accept that.

I’m still wait­ing on more good dec­o­rat­ing sug­ges­tions for my hexicle!
