Comments on: My life in Mac http://sarah-and-john.com/sarah/blog/2007/11/11/my-life-in-mac/ I'm a part-time housewife, band wife and ordinary girl. Here are places I go, things I do and reasons I like stuff.

It happened to us too. I don't want to go back to the pc. Not because macs are faster or have better graphics or whatever. Just because they seem to work. And they make sense. And they make me feel like I'm doing something natural when I use them. This is very unlike my old PC which made me feel quite stupid when I used it. It would taunt me with errors and glitches and hangups and other, equally annoying stuff. And yet, I'd find myself going back to it. Not because I wanted to, but because I HAD to. I kind of felt like I was in an abusive relationship and kept crawling back to my abuser because I needed them so badly. Well, I can happily say this is stuff of my past. We proudly own a macbook pro and an i-mac and we're not going back. Hi Sarah,

I know really nothing about Macs, but your spouse does some amazing things with his. I know what you mean about change. Change and I have a love/hate relationship going on. ;) LOL I think I still have Oregon Trail here somewhere. :) My main issue is just having the funds to start over, so I really don’t.

My mom has a iMac desktop and a HP laptop the school provides her with, she likes Mac better as well. Mac's weird me out though, I haven't gained status in the Mac club yet. Or maybe I'm just perplexed how the employees act at the Apple Stores in the Seattle area. All the computers are perfectly spaced when you walk in and all the employee's look like they've been zoning out those very computers for twelve hours straight, but strangely wear clothes like they just rolled outta bed and would rather marijuana be legalized. It just confuses me a relaxed-looking person, but not at all relaxed in their minds, totally high-strung. Also Mac's are too white in my opinion, you have to touch everything it seems to get them to operate, my i-pod broke and they told me they couldn't fix it, that I'm better off just buying a new one (I was SO pissed), and you can't Myspace IM on Mac's. Haha...I don't mean to complain after it's taken so long for your conversion. I think it's great there's equality in your marriage now, technologically, haha. :) I bought an HP laptop, it comes Tuesday. Maybe one day I'll write a blog like this, but for now Bill Gate's is my God Father. I live in Seattle, so I guess it's fitting. :) Peace Sarah. Oh. And I totally forgot about Oregon Trail AND green screens for that matter...That game was SO amazingly AWESOME. Haha…crazy computers.

Great post. I understand it well. I was converted back in 2001 when I bought my first Mac from a friend. I've owned probably half-a-dozen Macs since then, and now an iPhone. I have to use a PC at work, but I can't ever imagine going back in my personal life. Oh, and Alexis: When it comes to your network, you'd be surprised at how easily the Macs find the network and hook on. Getting them on your network will probably be much easier than it was with your PCs. And you can always sell your old PCs on eBay once you've switched! :-) Hi Sarah! Great post. I understand it well.
