I’m sure I’ll get the opportunity to try out his new toy every now and again, see what I reckon.

I can’t quite give up on Windows because that’s the mandatory platform at the large firm where I work. But then having a moan on this blog is all part of the fun.

Start logging all the time you spend troubleshooting stuff. It’ll make you sick.

I used to be exactly like you. Then I decided that I no longer had the time in my life to devote to trouble shooting my stuff and being Microsoft’s unpaid Q.A./Technician. I’m a PC repair guy and I can’t afford to be fixing or having troubles with my own computer while dealing with customer’s troubles as well.

I’m 6 months on a Mac now and will never go back. So much happier. Crashed only once in that time and haven’t had to troubleshoot almost anything. And if I do, it never takes more than 5 minutes to solve easily.

It’s that week or 2 learning curve for OS X and the $ to switch over that sucks.
Start with a Mac Mini to test the waters. Or get a $399 OpenMac from Psystar.
