I Switched

I was doing all of my work on a PIII 1.13ghz Sony Vaio laptop… just doesn’t cut it for those long hours at the office. It was time to upgrade, and I decided to go all the way and get myself a Mac. The G5’s just came out, but I don’t do any video or audo or anything like that. So, a dual 1.25ghz G4 with SuperDrive was more than what I needed.

I’m very happy I switched. I work on websites to be put onto an Apache server on a Linux box, so working within a *nix based environment means less minor tweaking and removing Microsoft crap from my stuff. There’s quite a learning curve, especially when you’re someone who knows what they’re doing on a PC (unlike those ‘switchers’ in the commercials). But I’m getting the hang of it.
