Once you go Mac, you never go back, except when you do

So, for the last month I've been toiling with the great technological debate: PC or Mac?  This question is as hotly argued as liberal or conservative, pro-life or choice, taco or burrito.   There is little I can contribute to the table of pros and cons.  It's said that PCs are cheaper, more compatible with software, and have more memory, while Macs are better for graphic editing, are sleeker and have much haughtier clientele.  It's difficult to get an honest assessment since most folks are biased one side or the other, and they typically articulate their preference by pointing out the flaws of the other side.   What a confused purchaser needs is someone who has experience with both platforms, which as of last week, is what I've become.  I'm a Mac user.

So, why?  Well, those Apple commercials were convincing.  The last thing I want is to suddenly become obese and forgetful.   But really, the kicker for me was Apple's college promo, where college students (and their brothers?) can get a free Ipod Touch and fifty bucks off a Macbook.  I opted for the aluminum Macbook because it's shinier.  Plus, Apple first sent me a defective Macbook that I had to return for a new one.  They deducted another hundred bucks off the total.  

There is little to distinguish my Macky from my old HP lappy.  Both are solid devices, but that was before the arrival of Vista, Windows most terrifying operating system.  So, in the end, I chose one side to avoid certain pitfalls of the other, that and promos.  Delicious promos.
