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!
Hey, if the wings on those flying pigs are tasty when deep fried, I’m alright with this. =P
Congrats on the moves!
1. Use growl. Pipe every single notification through it. Turn it off when you want to do work.
2. Shoot film. Hang results. Repeat.
