Bits of Addy
Random wanderings - what I'm dealing with, what's getting me frustrated, what I'm working on (and the progress reports just in case you care) and other stuff that might change from day to day that I just don't feel like putting my sig.
On illicit Mac lust?
What is it about them? Frequently do I see them featured in movies as the personal computers and laptops of characters, and are the computer of choice for many artists - many of the writers I know use Macs, and many of the online comics I read are done on Macs. Applegeeks and Mac Hall, for instance, are two prominent that come to mind.

I myself and typing this on a Dell laptop, and it's about four years old. I'm not happy with it. I am quite used to using it, and the OS on it (Windows XP Pro). I can make my word processor sit up and do tricks.

I guess what sparks this is the fact that a good pal of mine writes on a Mac, prefers them to anything. And he and I collaborated on a short skit for our upcoming show this evening, and it got me to wondering.

How much of a change would it be to convert, as it were? The iMac is so pretty, so slim, so freaking compact.

    Haha, the ol conundrum of whether to go mac or not. I believe it all depends on your lifestyle and attitude. While at first mac's may seem like they are nice and compact they can also be very unyielding. The flexiblity your recieve with other machines is valuable. That and if you play any MMORPGs I wouldnt suggest it anyway. Just my two cents. Now the ol conundrum of properly spelling conundrum. Huzzah
