Challies Goes Mac

without comments

Don’t worry, Tim.  We’ve all been there.  Not long ago, back in 2004, I was a pro-Windows, pro-PC guy.  I didn’t see what the fuss about Apple was all about.  PCs were cheaper and usually had more bells and whistles than Macs.  In the MP3 player world, I had a Creative Nomad that was 20GB and worked perfectly – even looked a lot like an iPod.  Then, I started working at CLS – an all-Mac facility – and started seeing what the fuss was all about.

Today’s post over at Challies talks about the process a lot of PC users go through in their switch to Apple.  Along the way, he talks about people like me:

What I’ve come to realize is that I don’t dislike Apple computers. No, I just dislike the people who use them! I’ll grant that there are some exceptions, some people who are humble Mac users. But far too often I’ve come across these Mac apologists, the kind who feel the need to disparage all things Microsoft and to boast in their own superiority. They are the ones who make you feel like you’re missing out, like you’d be so much better and more popular if you’d just become part of the in-crowd.

Plain and simple – everyone should use a Mac. They just make life much easier.
